It is always rewarding to start painting with warm-up exercises before digging into a larger painting. This way you can can consider your paint mixtures in advance and move around the painting with greater fluidity.
The greenish vegetation in the distance was created by mixing raw sienna and payne's gray, a combination I normally don't use. Simply leaving the white of the paper in the foreground as is and adding shadows makes the ground appear to have snow on it.
There is a warmth to the colors in this watercolor which I find inviting. Also, a simplified palette makes the image easier on the eyes.
