Tan-y-Bwlch Mountain, Wales. From today's art class. A4 watercolour.
When the mountain top began to go in unanticipated directions, developing blooms (clouds?) into the sky, I couldn't help but depart from the class procedure and put in some of the techniques I often use. I made more blooms on the mountain itself, picked out its edge with some dark paint laid into the wet wash, and lifted out some reeds in the foreground.
Given my fear of painting water -- such as the river here and its vague reflections -- I am overall pleased with the result. Definitely one to try again with yet more of my techniques.
