Water colors and Acrylic

This was my first plein air picture! I did this the summer after 8th grade during a plein air event. I had no idea what it would turn out like, so I just painted. The watercolor was used as a base coat while I used pure acrylic colors on top of it. While I was painting this, it was so cold I couldn't feel my fingers, but I am happy about how it turned out. If I could go over it, I would just add a little line of blue around the large rock on the right because right now it blends too much with the water. I would also get rid of the white spots, but seeing as this is my first plein air picture, I'm happy with it as it is.
