This video will share some of my tips and tricks for painting a reflection that is 'in focus'. The Flamingo was standing in almost perfectly calm water, and its reflection was very detailed, and needed to successfully look like it 'belonged' to the bird I painted above the water. Here's how I achieved that.🦩

My trouble is patience. I need to drink more tea, give it time to dry!😅

There's absolutely nothing wrong with stopping for a cuppa Tassie. LOL

I have a question about reflection. Why did Monet paint the reflection of a sailboat bigger than it should have been? Wider I guess I should say. Maybe it was his impressionism.

Unfortunately, Sherry I don't follow Monet's work, so I can't answer that one for you. Maybe because it gave the impression that the reflection was closer to the viewer?

@@TheDevonArtist I had a feeling you perhaps don't follow his work but thanks for answering my question. Most of what I draw or paint comes from my mind and I have no specific style but many. Not bragging in any way. I've copied a few paintings from famous past artists-- it gives me ideas for techniques. Again, thanks Paul. And love your lesson on reflection!
