This one didn't start so great. I have explored this view before, and it's challenging. The scale of the steep mountain close to me, the landscape stretching into the background. I'm happy with where I am with this one, but this is still an early step in a long exploration! I'm enjoying adding gestural marks with Neocolor or other tools. I was never a purist in watercolour, but I am going way beyond what I would have done a year ago. As I'm writing this, I'm actually thinking that gouache would great for this.
Here are my notes on what I did for this second stage Lots of Neocolor to accentuate what I like. Dulled down the background. Brightened up the foreground with strong Neocolor squiggles. And added a little sheep on the side of the mountain. Just for scale!
Kept the colours very simple, and enjoyed my greys in Neocolor.
