   Use acrylic or oil paint on canvas. Or just do whatever you want, make it your own.

   Actually, your photo would do well as a watercolor because you could "swim" that tree line into a wet sky and get neat effects.
   However, I would think the BEST way to handle this picture is to do it in shades of grey with a pencil. Using a soft 6B pencil and a hard 6H pencil alternating the details.

   The path/road winding up the hill is great. However, your photo is very monotone. There aren’t intensive whites or intensive blacks. Squint at the photo and 80% of it is the same value. It has a neat moody feel to it….which would lend itself best in pencil/graphite.

   If you choose paints, you have a very high chance of getting a lot of muddy colors…that’s why I vote for a black and white pencil drawing. Just my humble opinion! Best wishes….

   acrylics and oils are best, watercolors are fun too, that though, is your style and choice… everythings different. Draw it first, look for shapes. paint darkest areas first, and add layers on top:)
