For this layering I chose clear acetate, and used a combination of permanent Sharpies, Wytebord Markers, Stabilo OHPen permanent markers and Pilot markers for Projector. The orangy-yellows of the autumn leaves were hard to replicate as this is not a standard marker colour. However I found a Uni Posca branded orange felt tip which did the job well - albeit with a heightened florescence.
There are 4 layers. A layer in black, a layer with blues/greys, a layer with light and dark greens and finally the orange/red layer. The final layer is really the strongest and records "accent" colours. It helps to blend these by placing them as the back layer when scanning.
It was also hard to work with a limited range of greys - particularly with a grey sky that didn't give as much definition to the white building as in previous sunny visits. The foreground details were also hard to achieve with the large tipped pens, but this detail is significant to the foreground and would have given the image greater character.
