How to draw a lake in watercolor painting

1, landscape painting just needs to draw a rough outline, especially watercolor painting. After painting, the basic details are invisible.

2. Start with the snow-capped mountains by the lake. Paint a large area of snow white first, in case you accidentally paint the mountain wrong later.

It is better to paint another color when it is not dry. So first squeeze all the pigments to be used into the palette, and adjust the colors in advance when necessary, so that it is faster to get the pigments directly when needed, without taking time. Use several colors to give the mountain a general color, just highlighting the trend of the mountain and the general change of light and shade.

4. Draw the rock stratum of the mountain in dark or black, draw some lines for the snow in light gray and light green, and finally draw the snow on the mountain in white. The biggest advantage of watercolor painting is that it is not afraid of drawing mistakes, because the color can be covered and painted repeatedly until it is satisfactory.

5. After painting the mountain, you begin to paint the lake. First, adjust all kinds of colors that need to be used, change the brush to paint a large area, and pay attention to the reflection and the corresponding above. Some white pigments should be added to light pigments, and less water should be added.

6. Looking from a distance, I found that the reflection colors of the lake and the mountains in the water were a little out of harmony. The bottom was too blue, so I deepened it a little and made it a little thinner. I drew a dark layer on the blue lake below, which was a bit natural and drew the sky.
