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.

WHY USE THIS TECHNIQUE?

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!
