Started an online course in watercolor landscapes. This was the lesson in using tone for depth of field.

Excellent. It can be challenging to get those gradually fading tones as we move further back into a piece, but you just nailed it here. The fact you did this with watercolors deserves a big round of applause!
That sky is beautifully rendered, too. Also noting the little bits of lift in color for the mist, or fog. You did a great job! Looking forward to seeing more from your class. Have fun with it!
I always note how here in the mornings, as the mountains further back are lighter, it is their bases- the parts closest to the mountains in front- which are lightest of all.
Very well done. I've read for the first time about this technique to give depth to the landscape in an article at the Talens web site. As we go further and further to the back, colors become less saturated, tons are lighter and shapes become fuzzy. You did it in perfection.
