This is a watercolour study in paste medium. Which means that flour paste rather than water is used as a medium for the watercolour. This results in a slight body and sluggishness in the paint which can be very pleasant to work with.You can also,to a degree, remove watercolour if you wish. The rock like shapes at the lower edge were developed by removing watercolour.
