How to paint reflections in water - Mykonos demo part 3 of 3

How do you paint convincing boat reflections in water with watercolour? Here I paint a pretty scene of some fishing boats in the Greek Harbour of Mykonos.
This is part 3 of a 3-part series (Trilogy!).

At the start of this video, I show my source photograph for the painting.

Run the video again, but of course pause it at the start where I show the source photo. In Chrome, you can also right-click on the tab and select ‘Duplicate’.

In this demo I will be covering...
1) Choice of Subject. What makes a good watercolor subject. How to simplify the scene.
2) Materials I use such as the paper. I will also cover the paints I use and the palette, plus how I hold the different brushes for different techniques.
3) Doing the outline sketch as the first step. How to draw boat shapes.
4) Doing the sky and the first wash of the background and then the foreground.
5) Shadows and details of the figures and boats.
6) Watch out for the end highlighting tips and painting summary.

Great painting Tim! I love you worked out the boat in the middle with the fischerman. It looks so detailed, but hormonious to the others and the rest of your painting. Detailed, for your circumstances, of course.

I was fortunate with I thought a good composition in my photo already

Tim, I need to buy a mop brush. I'm using a size 24 squirrel round right now. I've also got a 16 along with many smaller brushes. I need a mop and don't know which to get. A lot of confusing info out there. I know I can trust you. Thanks in advance for the help.

[@TimWilmot]

I use a raphael soft aqua size 6

[@scarz1951]

@@TimWilmot I ordered a set of Mark Danube quills. A three brush set...a six, a ten and a fourteen. I expect that fourteen is a big'un! Thank you for the information.

[@akulina36]
