In this class you will learn how to create the perfect refections on the water surface. You will learn the rules of the refections proportions. You will paint two beautiful scenery of a mirror images on a lake and river bank.

Exercise 1. Visual walk along the River

This time you will go for a walk along the river bank, pond, city lake or just any nearby beach. You can take photos of the reflections on the any water surfaces.

Try to add a large collection of images in your “visual library”. Please pay attention that the reflection is darker than subject.
