Monday challenge, what can you do with these subtle winter colours?

Here are some photos. I suggest you try a colour study. I think the colours are interesting but it would be very easy to make a boring painting from one of these photos. 

So the answer is to try to capture as many of the subtle colours as you can. Perhaps a quick pencil sketch then some hasty colour application? You could try watercolour (my choice), acrylic, oil, or even pastel (not my choice!) or perhaps a quick watercolour, then pencil on top, while wet or dry, then more paint........

or watercolour and then pastel on top........

You could even try using card to apply the paint with........
