Painted along with Richard's video - haven't been able to do this plein air yet, but hope to have a chance sometime! Meanwhile, wanted to learn & practise.... Figuring out what the water should reflect was a bit tricky - should it reflect the sky or the hills? or both?? Trying to learn to put down a brush stroke & leave it alone! Not so easy! Maybe reflections need to be blended a little anyway?

Thank you Nancy & Ningning!  Can't go too far wrong following along with Richard's excellent video demos!  Could never do this on my own!

Jessica, I follow Nancy for the beautiful glassy reflections in the water. the blending have been done very well.   If you do not want  the reflection stay  still, you may use some horizontal strokes to make the water move a bit.  Richard taught us this in his teaching.  I like your  glowing effect . It is very well done too.

Beautiful! The water is particularly lovely with its glassy reflections.
