Forest landscape with cloud formations and layered atmospheric perspective

Watercolor composition depicting coniferous forest canopy in deep blue-navy tones ascending toward light blue-grey cloud layers. Vertical structure establishes three distinct zones: darkened foreground silhouettes of evergreen trees, mid-ground transitional mist layer with reduced opacity, background clouds in graduated light values. Technique employs progressive desaturation with altitude, creating atmospheric depth through color temperature shifts and tonal gradation. Brushwork demonstrates controlled wet-on-wet application with deliberate edge diffusion.
