After painting the sandbags with Tamiya khaki, I added a wash over both the sandbags and the olive drab parts of the tank to shade them. I found a bottle of Games Workshop Devlan Mud among my paints, which I had forgotten I had, and decided to try it for this. Though the paint stinks like stagnant water (I thought mine had gone off, but a little online research turned up that this is a well-known trait of this particular paint), it works very well for this purpose. After that was dry, I followed it up with some drybrushing using two shades of Revell acrylic paint, yellow olive and light olive, for highlights on the tank itself. I also drybrushed the sandbags with Revell dark earth and a sand colour.
To enhance the muddy underside of the hull and suspension, I mixed some Tamiya flat earth (that I had also used for spraying the tank) with acrylic structure gel that has a coarse, sand-like texture and dabbed and smeared it onto the hull and suspension with a largish brush:
The next step is to apply the markings and winter camouflage as well as painting detail bits like the tow cable and tools, followed by more mud and dirt
