Practicing washes


After reading about washes again, I redid my plein air painting by starting with a wash of cobalt blue from the top and new gamboge from the bottom. It's so light and didn't really show clouds I saw that day, but it's good practice. Also practiced dark tolight washes on the mountains. What do you think?

This is beautiful and such a good use of the watercolor wash, varying the colors and values, too :) Well done!
