Small Village - Work in Progress

This is a sketch I did a while ago for a small village. I always wanted to paint the small mountain area village where my late grandmother has lived. I spent my childhood running around the field, mountain and small rivers, playing in the pond in front of the houses.

After the sketch, I haven't put it in a painting yet. I cannot find a good way to or nice painting "language" to depict the scenery.

Recently I get some inspiration from some doodle work. See the example below.

I visualize that I can put the Small Village in this type of painting language nicely. Let's see if I can make it work. I'll work on this piece these days.
