I have done a number of these marsh scenes, and started many more, as demos in my watercolor classes, especially with student who are not yet very experienced with watercolor. It does take a bit of practice to get the hand of the varigated wash in the background, and then to know just when the paper is still just the right amount of wet to add the soft greys so they are the right amount of softness and don’t spread out too far.
