Water pond and lake



Drawing – akin to magic. Using paint and brush on paper to create a realistic picture of where everything is on it will look like the present. Looking at a natural landscape, I think that the rapid mountain river's going to overflow, and from the calm surface of the lake will come up a mermaid.

Such realistic paintings, you need to draw the water. In fact it plays a major role on the canvas. It is easier to portray the calm water that filled the ponds and lakes.


First, choose which plan will be similar to the object. Outline its boundaries with a pencil, depicting oval and round. Will help to draw a realistic water colors: blue, dark blue, black. The edges of a lake, pond depth is small. Therefore, this part is reconstructed with the help of blue paint. The farther to the middle of the object, the darker must be the shades.

Not necessarily portray great depth in the middle of the lake. Make a few round dark spots in different places of the pond. Paint dark blue and white colors will help you see circles radiating out across the water. And the picture will be more realistic.

You need to consider which side the light source to paint on the surface of the water shadows and reflections of the sun. Latest give good white or silver paint.

River water



In the river water is not static but flows. If it is a mountain bubbling stream, then you need to convey with the drawing direction of the river, to show that she is restless and raging foam.

First draw a small mountain. Let drawn the river originates from its apex. The two pencil lines mark the left and right boundaries of the reservoir. Then lines that are almost parallel to this, show that the water falls down.

Near the foot of the mountain, draw some spikes to be seen with what force comes from the top and flows on this flow.

If the river is mountainous and calm, then draw with a few wavy lines on its surface ripples. Let the ridges glistening in the sun. This effect will help to achieve a gold or silver paint.

You can use another way. Once you have painted the river with blue, blue paint, RUB the wax candles the crests of the waves. Cover them in dark blue. When the paint has dried, take a needle or a toothpick and scratch small plots, which show the ripple. We will see how she shines and sparkles in the sun.
