The sky is light blue with some white clouds. The painting is done in oil paint, which gives it a rich and detailed look. The colors are muted, with shades of brown, orange, and green dominating the scene. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured feel. The artist's use of color and light creates a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. To learn more about the technique of glazing, which is often used to achieve this effect, look it up next.
