A fun exercise in landscape watercolor painting is to match the colors of the sky to the reflected colors in the trees, rocks and water. This is especially true with the intense colors of a sunset. One of the keys to making a landscape painting look realistic, if you add a color in one area (sky), you need to add the same color in the water. In this week’s painting, by adding mineral violet in the water, I also add a touch of mineral violet to the top edges of the sky.
This week’s painting, Easy Going, 4” x 6” on 300 lb. watercolor paper, captures the end of a day paddling on a quiet body of water.
