Depth in monochrome

Well, looking at these, maybe I need to go back to practising cars before I even think of people. Maybe cars from above is extra difficult? Now, that's a good excuse! So I'm still practising direct watercolour sketching from Marion Rivolier's book. A lot to learn. I enjoyed this exercise, separating background, middle ground and foreground using 3 different values, darkest at the front. I'm not going far these days, so it's the view from my window again (front of the house).

And is it my eyes, or is the blue car floating above the road? I need to study shadows better. Hard to do in Ireland in the winter, where I haven't seen shadows for months! (Only a slight exaggeration!)
