Hello, everyone!

Today, I'm going to share with you how I painted a lake scene with watercolors.

0:00 sky
First, I started with the sky, using warm colors like a Chromium yellow hue deep and Cadmium red light to paint the sky near the horizon. As I moved upward, I gradually added Lavender and Ultramarine.

2:30 clouds
Then, before the paper dried, I used a smaller brush and painted clouds with Ultramarine, Indigo, and a touch of purple.

6:22 lake
Next, I removed the tape and painted the lake with colors similar to the sky. Before the paper completely dried, I added ripples with a slightly darker blue, making them thicker and darker towards the bottom.

9:29 branches and leaves
After allowing the paper to dry completely, I used Ultramarine and Sepia to paint tree branches and leaves in the foreground as embellishments.

I hope you enjoy it.
Thank you for watching!
