Description
This is my first attempt at painting reflections in water believe it or not! Once again I went through that crap stage when I thought the painting was not working for me, there are things I still do not think work well enough - but someone told me once that a painting can be ruined by you saying 'I'll just do this!'.I had to make some of my own custom brushes for the reflections on the water surface as just painting every single one didn't seem to have the randomness I liked.
Overall I am pleased with the outcome and more importantly I have learnt some new things I will take forward into future work.
Hope you like.

Did you use a photo while drawing this or it's your imagination?
Amazing anyway

I had photo reference. What started out as a practice on painting water - turned into a finished piece!
Thanks

I'll stop commenting here. Your digital paintings are incredible, they are the best examples I've seen of approaching landscape painting in the digital medium.
