I've also noticed that mixing any of the watercolors with the opaque white not only makes it brighter but also opaque (yes, this reads like a no brainer too) which is how I managed to apply the lighter spots on the trees this time (in the previous image I tried to do that without opaque white just by placing layer over layer over layer of the same color which lead to some very uncontrolled color patches) and also for some of the grass.

I've also started to create a 16 color palette based on those watercolors I got (picture of them is here) with the intention of using it for some pixel art. The watercolors I got seem to be the standard 12 industry norm (DIN 5023:1989-02) colors used in basic art education classes in German schools plus opaque white.

Excuse my crudeness but these are fucking awesome! Makes me want to try it myself, would you mind taking a picture of the brushes you used? I can't remember the last time I did watercolor, probably art class in the eighth grade. Also what kind of paper would be ideal for watercolors?
