if you are using batiks. there are a couple of hoffman watercolor 1895 series that will work for the snow capped mt..
then some thread play to highlight the darker areas would be easier....GREAT one for a beginner..not too much contrast, and REAL nature colors!
have you ever seen the works of the quilted lizard?
here is her landscape gallery page...

WARNING>.....once you see these..you will NEVER look at natural scenery the same again...have fun!
