J10 Education - Desert Landscape

We are booked for Book Fair. The time is 20 Nov. Day 4. 2:00 PM to 2:15 PM

Step 1: The Horizon. Establish the ground plane (mountains) and the background sky.
Step 2: Perspective Road. Define the perspective lines, showing how the road starts wide and converges at a single point (vanishing point).
Step 3: Large Foreground Rocks. Add the largest, closest objects (rocks, agave, and snake). Remember: Things close to the bottom are big.
Step 4: Tallest Cactus. Place the largest cactus (the Saguaro) in the mid-foreground to set the scale for other elements.

Step 5: Add Midground Cacti. Overlay smaller cacti along the converging path, demonstrating scale relative to the first large one, building depth.
Step 6: Add Wildlife and Details. Include the smaller details that add character: the small bird on the cactus, the lizard on a rock, fine sand lines, and flowers.
Step 7: Base Colors Pass. Apply the first layer of simple flat colors, perhaps just the desert tan and greens. Notice how this stage matches image_0.png, but is waiting for the final sky and texture.
Step 8: Final Depth and Stars. Apply the full sunset gradient (yellow, orange, green, blue), add dotted stars, final texture shading, and blend colors to match image_0.png exactly.
