Late autumn reflections

I do love scenes like this one - lots of glowing light and beautiful reflections.

The key here is how to paint that perfect variegated background - blue, to yellow, to red and then back again. And how to add the reflections on top. Both of these are excellent skills to master in watercolour and I'm going to show you exactly how to do them.

And look! We have blue and yellow in the sky, and they didn't make green. I'll give you a tip for that too, because it's important if you want to paint sunrises or sunsets.

Happy painting!
