I can imagine Peter it works really good. Lovely

The only thing that strikes me about it Peter is the amount of one colour as in the russet colour that is dead centre and over on the righthand side....it's a bit over whelming. Other than that it's a really good watercolour Peter, the rocks are great, the composition etc. all work well.

Watercolour on Arches 140lb NOT paper. 1/2 imperial. Not completely happy with this. I think it lacks counterchange on the bridge and the trees are rather lost on the RHS. It looks better in the flesh!
