Ways to do reflections in water in digital watercolour painting Two sets of reflections are already done in this painting in progress. The vertical grasses layer was done using the Gel Wash/Wet Blender technique described in previous posts. Then the opacity of it was reduced on the Layers Palette using the slider.
The bird 1 Reflection layer was done with a digital wc brush (any tiny one will do), then opacity was reduced. The white parts were done with a dry wc eraser with a low setting because the water was on a wc layer (gel).
The bird and the water were done with digital watercolours and watercolours on separate layers. I cloned the image at that point to avoid having to drop the layers yet. In the new Cloned image I lifted the canvas to watercolour layer from the Layers menu.
The reflections layers were done on new layers with the default composite method on, as described above.
