High Sweden Bridge,
Lake District

Directly beneath the bridge the water is calm and wet-into-wet reflections have been dropped in - you often have to control these with a damp brush to make sure they don't spread too much.
 
Lower down, white patches have been retained amongst the dabs of French Ultramarine and Burnt Umber. Note how, even on a rain swept day, the tops of the rocks are catching the light quite strongly.
