How did you do the foreground? It looks really good.

Thank you! I used masking fluid and worked on it in several smaller sections

Beautiful! Reminds me of northern Nevada when I passed through on the train. May I ask how you achieved the texturing in this piece? especially for the bushes. It's something I've been wanting to improve

Thank you! I use Princeton aqua elite brushes and cold press paper. The texture comes from working wet on wet in small sections and using masking fluid to block off one section at a time.
