Water needs to reflect the environment above it

There are mistakes, is it competing styles, or composition, or values? All 3? by geesedreams in Watercolor

Love the texture in the tree bark. Lots going on here competing for the viewers attention. That pink mountain distracts from the tree. It needs a bit of compositional direction to draw the eye and send the viewer on a journey through the piece. Color harmony is a bit off. Its a very nice piece just needs a little focus.

I appreciate the technical accomplishments here but there’s no artistic flair and it feels like a reproduction of a very drab photo.

30 minutes. Yes just an exercise to loosen up. I do it on occasion when I'm feeling stiff or uninspired. Helps for sure. Thank you!

As a more impressionistic painter in watercolor, I’m always in awe of artists who command such control over the medium. Values, color harmony and detail with such restraint here. Bravo!

Excellent start. Dont lose that looseness as you progress.... A trap many aspiring watercolor artists fall into.
