How to Create Reflection in Water: VLOG
To create a natural water reflection, lightly drag your brush downward from the base of your tree using soft, uneven strokes. This mimics the soft blur of a tree mirrored in still water.

It instantly brings your scene to life with a peaceful, realistic touch. Reflections add mood, depth, and calmness to any piece.
PRO TIPS FOR ACHIEVING WOW RESULTS:

Keep the strokes soft and vertical—less pressure gives a better effect
-
Use a slightly watered-down version of your original color for realism

Don't overwork it—the best reflections are just hints!
