biL, I am thinking I will add some more "shadow and light" to the leftmost trees. Because they are closer than the rest, there should be more contrast there than further to the right. Also, your suggestion of making the leftmost trees darker is a good one.
Would you suggest mixing some white into the water color to lighten it a bit? Some experimentation should yield a satisfactory result I would think. I'll paint several different mixes on a piece of hardboard, then gloss coat it, and see which one is the best.
Also, I think I need to do the "thin blue wash" starting a bit to the right of the middle, and moving right, to create a more distant "hazy" look.
