Mist rising from the river

(C) 2016 Dale DiMauro

This is the finished version of the picture I posted on Wednesday. I have added trees and shrubs along with the power lines. The shadows are a big part of this watercolor as they reveal the light areas and the form of objects. 

I experimented by adding white gouache to amplify the mist rising from the river. Otherwise, the mist is largely the absence of color painted with soft edges. On the lawn I introduced burnt sienna to make the green grass less garish.

The shadows in the foreground on the lawn give depth to the picture while not revealing their source.
