I am beginning to see the sun in this work now. As the darker tones are added next to the lighter tones, the contrast accentuates the effect. One of my main aims, is to create an illusion of the effect of the sun. Even though watercolour is unforgiving, it is possible to correct accidents somewhat. Behind the branches at the top right, I accidentally smudged a little yellow paint from the side of my hand. I blotted off most of the paint and, once dry, added a couple of buds. It would not have been easy to blend in the smudges with the sky and it remain a uniform overall colour and tone.
