Perspective is the "trick" of illusion of depth. To make the illusion of a road fading into the horizon try this. The front (nearest to you) is wider and the end at the horizon disappears into a dot if you go far enough. This is called one point perspective. You need to place your stroke going horizontally. This lays the road down flat. Vary the browns used. Maybe even add a bit of grass blades going down the center. Front is brighter colors and focused while background is softer or less focused. Remeber, an object can not be the same color if its next to you and fifty feet away. It will be greyer/bluer, and a lighter value the further away it gets.
