I was drawn to the beautiful, warm and subtle colours in this scene. It isn't oversaturated; the colours seen mainly in the sky and water make up the majority of the palette.
This lesson focuses on perfecting the colours seen in the reference image. The goal is to improve your understanding and application of colour, aiding in achieving accurate visual depiction. The subtle ripples in the water and the delicate reeds provide an opportunity to refine previously learned skills.
