Majestic Mt. Hood~Watercolor Mountains

Majestic Mt. Hood~Watercolor Mountains - student project

Hey Anna~I was recently talking about wanting to paint Mt. Hood from the state of Oregon where I live.  I found your mountain watercolor class and thought this would be the perfect guide for me.  Your way of painting the sky worked great for the reference photo I used.  I also learned and like how you paint the crevices, shadows and highlights to create a mountain.  This is easier for me than wet on wet.  I changed my painting up some from my reference, but now have a better feel for painting clouds and mountains.  I didn't realize I did not have my sky covered when I splattered my rocks, so I turned all of the splats into distant birds. (too many to wash out).  My scanner washed out my sky and clouds some when it was scanned.  It was a great class and I appreciate your explanations and guidance throughout :):)
