Peaceful reflections . . . (Express strokes #6)

Watercolor on paper

Everyone and everything that shows up in our life is a reflection of something that is happening inside of us!

Reflection is one of the interesting subject to paint. Not all the time do we see a perfect reflection, hence it is not a must to paint a perfect reverse image. The watercolor paper and and the paints create a texture all their own that allows for light, airy paintings. The ease with which they flow together makes for realistic reflections in a pond or lake painting.

This is an effort to bring out the reflections using the wet method, I layed out the colors for the water first and then built up reflections while the paint is wet.
