The small pochade box makes it easy to grab and do a quick watercolor of the landscape.
There is still a little snow on the ground but it is warm in the morning sun.

Every branch is covered.
No shadows in the treasure of this solemn forest because the sun is hidden.
Quiet tones
No bright whites, no deep darks
Only silver middle tones reflecting off each other.
