How to paint a cottage in watercolour with a limited palette, minimalist impressionist style

NEW OFFER
For this painting only, I'm offering a double download: The reference photo, and a copy of my finished painting.
Just fill in the pop up window titled "Cottage at Mudgee" on this web page: https://www.shirleypeters.com.au/yout...
and the download link will appear.
Why you might ask? I am trying to gather my own email list, of you guys who like my work. This is insurance against loss of community should I get hacked and have to start again.
You can fill in that form if you just want to be on my list, even if you don't need the files.
OR
Close the pop up window, and you can still download the original photograph (for free) and follow along in your own time.
It's called "Cottage at Mudgee", and the reference photo is available on my "Learn to Paint" page on my website:
https://www.shirleypeters.com.au/yout...
All my previous Video Reference Resources are on this new page as well.

PAINTS
For this painting, I used warm (yellow and browns), cool (blues and violet) and greys (moon glow and lamp black).
Beware of super strong colours, like phalo green. Avoid them! Test your colours before you start.
