Painting and lifting - rocks

Trying to find tools and techniques to explore the landscape. Here, I'm lifting watercolour, which works really well for rocks. But then I get so absorbed in this that I forget about the different layers of landscape. My middle ground is way too bright and jumps forward, and I end up with only background and foreground. Next version, I need to think about that! And also, I lifted too much of the sky, trying to create bad rain, and losing the value contrast that was essential. I do like the squiggles though.
