A lovely piece! watercolor is always so graceful and relaxing. Good work!

My advice on where you could improve would be the pencil marks. It takes away from the piece a little. Next time you could try to draw very lightly (as light as you can) try not to apply much pressure, just let the pencil guide. That way when you go over it in watercolor/watercolor pencil it won't leave behind the excess trails and ghost lines.

For the grass it seems a tad patchy, you should try out different colors with the same shade. You can actually mix watercolors without ruining the main colors; Just dab the color you want with a wet brush and dab it in a separate clean mixing pallet, clean the brush and then repeat with another color so you can easily mix for different shades. When it comes to water coloring always be sure to gently wet your paper (preferably with a sponge rung out) and go over the page you are using and then add a base or primary color you are going to be using throughout the piece. (Only do that if the page you are using is watercolor paper and not regular paper. Otherwise the page will be ruined and become soggy.)
