Thanks for the course! :)

I used the medium Watercolour [edit and for the 2nd run Acryl]. At first it was a bit difficult, as in with watercolours you work from light to dark. And your version with gouache doesn't need to consider this.

What I learned:
- Favorit: I really like the Analogus Version to paint. Well red isn't my absolute favorite, but the technique with 3 "like-minded" colours next to each other, is something I look forward to dive more into.
- Fascinated: I was fascinated how the Gamut Mask turned out! Usually I like bright colours, but the dulled versions turned out super nice!
- Difficult: I found the Tetradic the most difficult to point. There are 4 different "base colours" to choose from.
- Value study... value study... value study... hihi :) afterwards I made a quick value study in pencil, which helped me more to understand the different layers (forground/middleground/background). It reminded me, to * a l w a y s* do a quick value study upfront! It's 5-10 Minutes super well invested!
- I'm not into Gouache/Acryls/Oils etc... ;-) but somehow I was a tiny bit jealous when I saw you mixing the colours! It's so pure and easy to add more colour... when I mix watercolour (like an Orange) and I'd like to add a hint more of yellow - mmh - okay, now a hint of red - mhh too much - more yellow... it the end it always gets watered down and it isn't anymore a strong orange.
- Adding the little colour dots, next to the little painting, helped me to quickly understand, how many colours are involved.
- The medium Watercolour took me more time to paint as I had to layer more. You were pretty quick with Gouache :).
- Instead of white (as you used it in Gouache) I used water :)
- It's the first time, that I do a little painting in 8 different ways!
- Even tough the exercise looks simple, I highly recommend to do it! :D You'll learn more than you think.

If I'd do this exercise with watercolour again:
1. Wash for the Sky Mountains together (let it dry)
2. Lighter Wash for the Middleground till the bottom of the painting (let it dry)
3. Add another layer on the mountains the part where the tree stands (let it dry)
4. Add another layer for the bushes (at the bottom of the mountain) make a super dark layer for the tree & trunk.

January 2023 - I did the exercise in Acryl as well :).
It was my first experience with acryl since 20 (?) years - hihi.
I liked it too and it was easier to paint with acryl than with watercolour. The Gamut Mask I enjoyed very much!
