Stone Bridge on Yupo

This is the same photo ref I used a couple of months ago for a "traditional" watercolor. I just had to give it a go with the Yupo and DS paints. I'm trying to combine some techniques. . . and here are my goals. I want to create texture with both the natural flow of watercolor on Yupo as well as some stippling and other brush strokes. I want the vegetation to be "fluffy" and the water to be "flowing." I'm having so much fun trying to "go with the flow on Yupo" and also reining it in with brushstrokes and more pigment in certain places. It sure has been a fun challenge thus far and I'm constantly thinking of things I want to try "next time!"
