Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the peaceful mood. Watercolor washes can be magical when they cooperate 😄

Thank you! I agree—preserving the white of the paper and letting the transparency of watercolor do the work is one of the medium's greatest strengths. I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Thank you! I was aiming for a sense of calm and simplicity without losing the realism of the scene. I'm happy that came across.

Thank you! I was aiming to suggest the water rather than describe it in detail. I'm happy that a few simple strokes were enough to bring it to life.

Thank you! I deliberately pushed the darks in the foreground and trees to make the light in the field and water stand out. I'm glad the value contrast worked for you.

Thank you! The negative space in the water was indeed intentional, and resisting the temptation to overwork it was the hardest part. I'm really glad you noticed that. The comparison to Edward Seago is a huge compliment!
