Soothing Reflections


This cooling fall scene is a welcome site after the hot summer days slip past. My country view of a river bed, water, trees and shrubs is made interesting by the soothing reflections in the water. My basic image was sketched with ink. Trees and water area were dampened then I applied the watercolors. Image fits into 8" x 10" mat and took about 30 minutes to do because it was done so loosely. Hope you enjoy it. Ink and watercolor.

Hi Terry
Very nice and peaceful scene. Love the reflections.
Which ink do you use for your works? I have been using Gel Pens for my work.

Thanks all for commenting. This is a nice exercise on painting simply. Sandeep--I use Nexus, Micron and Sharpie pens.
