Painting Reflections WATERCOLOR landscape - 273

I started with an 11"x14" sheet that I tried to stretch with glue tape and staples. That failed so I taped it down in the end and the painting area became about 9"x12". This time I sketched from a reference photo and had a plan to paint a light background then mask off the reflection area. A bit different from my usual "no plan" landscapes.
