Barn Raising - Lesson 1

I am starting a new painting and will be posting the various stages of development.  If you find this interesting let me know!
I have stretched my watercolour paper on a piece of plywood and stapled it around the perimeter.  I have added an edge of masking tape.  This gives me a white edge when I am done and keeps the board from getting covered in paint.  
This is a rural setting with a barn and silo.  I have started with a loose wash of cobalt blue and cerulean for the sky and yellow and sienna with a bit of cobalt for the foreground.  Once dry I will develop the sky and foreground further.
