Fast impression of Mt Shasta in watercolor


I did this fast watercolor in my journal of Mt. Shasta. Never really did a landscape. Think I will give this another try on watercolor paper in a larger than 5 1/2 x 8 1/2. Still learning what this paint will do. I've got a really long ways to go. Here it is for the record as it were.

Alan, what I like about this is the way you use your brushstrokes to describe the terrain in an expressive way. Keep it up!
