Hi all,
This is my first post, I've been reading and looking at all the lovely watercolours here for sometime and decided I needed some advice if anyone has the time. I have been a watercolourist for about 2.5 years now, love painting landscapes and seascapes. I'm hoping to get some advice please.
I struggle after my first wash, I can make my decisions regarding colour, placement etc, but then get stuck, resulting in just bits of different greens, and not much shape to anything I feel. I get lost again on my next washes adding detail as I don't class myself as very good at drawing, I understand I must practise.
Love the book and the website, I also am a patreon member, which I love, thankyou to Olly and Edo and all involved for the opportunity to improve my landscape watercolours.

Welcome!! I think you painted a great sky, then connected that beautifully by reflecting it in the lake. The only real mistake I can see is the small lonely tree way down in the left corner. Be bolder! Move it diagonnally up just a bit to maybe connect with the distant land? I too struggle with connections. But you seem to have a feeling for it judging by sky/lake!
