I love your tutorials, Murray! Thank-you for taking your time to gift us with your artistic training!
I have a couple of general questions about reflections. I'm painting an acrylic ocean sunset of the Morro Rock ion the Central CA Coast. It's a beautiful scene, but quite complicated to paint!! Not an easy task, for sure!! So my questions: 1.) Does the reflection slightly reflect the color of the water reflecting it? I'm assuming it does. If so, how do you mix the paint to do that? Just darken it or use different colors to paint the details? 2.) Do reflections have a bit different perspective that the object they are reflecting? Thanks!! Carol
