BC Landscape watercolor painting - 15 x x 22 inches

This is a watercolor painting based on a photo I took on my way to Mayne Island off the British Columbia  coast in Canada.  I did the underpainting using Ceulean Blue and after it is completely dry, I appled the various color on top in layers.  First I painted the background trees and hills with more blue green pigment.  Then the foreground was painted in sections and layers with Burnt Umber and Windsor Green.  The lighthouse should be left unpainted but it was painted over by a wash so I need to lift the color out later on.  The final result composes of various layers of watercolor pigmnet layering one on top of the other.  Basic wet in wet was used as well as some gradated wash.
