How to Draw Reflections in the Water - Landscape in Colored Pencil

Here's the eighth tutorial in the Landscape in Colored Pencil series. In this one I'll show you how to draw reflections in the water.
I used a Fabriano paper primed with Liquitex clear gesso and worked on top of it with Polychromos pencils.

Will you show how you prepare the paper for work?

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

I think I have a few videos on my channel where I did that. Also on Patreon.

Is it due to the primed paper that white pencil shows up so vividly on top of your colours? All I get out of my white pencils is blending 😥

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

Yeah

[@angeline480]

What pencil are you using? What brand?

[@mohammadjafardeldar6333]

👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏

[@RedDragon313]

How is it your pencils seem so buttery when applying color? They are almost chalky/pastel-like. I can't do that with my oil-based pencils. Is it because your paper is primed? sorry, I'm new to this....

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

Yes, it's because of the clear gesso primer.

[@RedDragon313]

@@MiroslavSunjkic Thanks for your quick response! Looking forward to giving this a try!

[@marcusshemwell4669]

Hi great videos! I'm using clear gesso and faber castell poly chromas but I cant layer my lights on top of my darks the same way you are doing? Like my white colored pencil is bacily useless for anything except blending. Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

Try not to burnish the surface and go easier. If all fails, just apply gesso over the darker layer and when it's dry get to work with a lighter pencil.

[@marcusshemwell4669]

@@MiroslavSunjkic awesome will give it a try. Thanks for the reply. Keep up the great work! You have inspired me to start drawing again.

[@EnigmaticAnomaly]

These aren't really colored pencils, per se, but more pastels. When I think of colored pencils, I think of Prismacolor.

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

They are colored pencils, but they are harder than prismacolor.

[@EnigmaticAnomaly]

​@@MiroslavSunjkic I just looked them up. Interesting. How do they hold up? Is the drawing susceptible to smearing like pastels, or are they more permanent like the Prismacolors?

[@MiroslavSunjkic]

@@EnigmaticAnomaly more permanent than both

[@EnigmaticAnomaly]

@@MiroslavSunjkicI've got to try them then. Here's one of my lighthouse drawings done with the Berol Prismacolors ... i.imgur.com/tbwHolz.png
