You can see faint Aliz C has come out in the sky and both Aliz and Viridian has shown in the rocks.

Great use of these 3 simple colours, very eye-catching

Like this, especially the rocks - colour and texture - and the silhouetted birds.

I think it is fantastic in its simplicity, David. Love the design and the limited, rich colours you used. Great!

Watercolour, 7" x 9" I have only used three colours for this painting. Viridian, Aliz Crimson and Raw Sienna. Virdian + AC makes a really nice dark especially for sea scenes as you can mix either on the green side or red side. Its also a good mix for waterfalls. Try a dark thickish mix and while wet tease a wet brush to fade off and lovely colours emerge.
