It is always fun to play with watercolors to see what kind of marks you can make. Along the way your mark-making evolves along with your understanding of your palette and it's mixtures.
This watercolor was done from memory after coming into the house from a local walk on a glorious sunny afternoon. Before the snow arrived, the colors of the landscape were quite lovely with strong warm tones until the shadows move in later in the day.
The edges of your washes are so important in watercolor. Depending on how you want to articulate them you can achieve tremendous variety. Around the body of water above, I feathered in the foliage to make them appear to be in the natural light. I will continue to experiment and see what direction this takes me.
