Trees

Still working on this watercolour - I'm happy with the trees, except the trunks are too evenly spaced. And the water didn't work out. I had applied vertical bands of paint over damp paper, but the burnt sienna was a lot stronger than the cobalt blue and the aureolin yellow, so I painted over it with cobalt blue. But then it was all too even. So I scratched the water surface with a blade, but it still lacks oomph. A few more iterations before I get it right!
