Come autumn, the reflective surface of water determined by the color of sky becomes ablaze with surprising abstract shapes and vibrant colors you would not see otherwise in the other seasons. As we explore still water reflections and rippled reflections, experiment with letting paint mix on the paper along with identifying and manipulating edges. Learning how to use washes, brushstrokes, and color temperature will add shine to your water and sparkle to your reflections. Make a splash painting colorful landscapes with water!
