A TUSCAN PARADISE IN NORTHUMBERLAND

For some reason this landscape reminds me of Tuscany. I think it is due to two things, the rolling landscape with small hills with peaks and the very dry conditions turning the grass yellow. I also think it is due to the mass of trees dotting the landscape. There is a lot of trees on the left side of the drawing which I haven’t indicated. They look like a mass of sepia brush strokes and I think that is how I am going to put them in. Like the cloud formation, intending to make a lot of that.
