When I look at a landscape scene I first see the composition of the objects, then the leaves or branches with greens, yellows, blues, browns, oranges, and the bark with the oranges, grays, purples, grass with blues, greens, yellows, oranges, mountains of pale purple and blue, water reflecting the sky, the foliage, and the transparency to the bottom of rocks or sand. Artists train themselves to not just look at a scene but to see all the colors in the scene, and then try to paint it.
