Bob then moves on to the mountains, using darker shades of brown to depict the rugged terrain.

As he begins to paint the trees, Bob suggests using a fan brush to create the illusion of leaves. He uses a mix of red and yellow to create the oranges and golden yellows that are synonymous with autumn. Bob emphasizes the importance of varying the color and pressure on the brush to give the trees a more realistic look.
Next, Bob moves on to the foliage and shrubbery. He uses various brush strokes and shades of green to add dimension and create depth. He also shows viewers how to create shadows and highlights within the foliage to make it look more realistic.
To finish off the painting, Bob adds a small cabin in the foreground. He uses a small brush to create the details and suggests using a darker shade of brown to give the illusion of shadows. He also adds a few leaves and bushes around the cabin to make it blend in with the rest of the painting.
