Few stages of the landscape

Lately, I find watercolour much pleasing. Soft and wash colours are beautiful to compose. I am trying to achieve this in my oil paintings as well, but it takes some time. I paint with turpentine and a little bit of jello from Winsor&Newton to achieve lightness and delicacy of colour, making it rather soft washes, layer on layer.
The scene is painted at my parents’ garden, in June.
