Ever wondered how to capture the peaceful shimmer of water in a lake reflection painting? In this calming tutorial, Bogiki guides you through every step to create a reflective lake that feels alive, with just a few markers, a soft hand, and a little imagination.

1. Color lake reflection painting

A lake holds whispers of sky, drifting dreams, and the poetry of light and shadow. To color a reflective lake is to step into stillness and stir it gently with your imagination. In this journey, your markers will ripple like wind over water, and every stroke will mirror your mood.

1.1 Step 1: Draw a random shape

With Touchliit markers 36, start by sketching soft, organic forms. Think of sunlight catching ripples, the glimmer of floating petals, or shadows of unseen clouds. Let your hand be free, reflections are never perfect.

1.2 Step 2: Make a ripple effect

Still using 36-layer curved strokes, little ripples echoing outwards. This isn’t just technique; it’s rhythm. Let the water breathe through your lines.

1.3 Step 3: Continue to draw random shapes & ripple effect

Go back in. Add more shapes, more ripples. Allow your water to hold color like it holds the sky. With Touchliit markers 36, keep the motion fluid, like echoes in a quiet pond.

1.4 Step 4: Draw random zigzag lines

Introducing Touchliit markers 83 and 71. Draw random zigzag lines and fill in the base like you're pouring twilight into the lake. This is where warmth meets coolness, the heart of your reflection.

1.5 Step 5: Let color speak softly

Pick up Touchliit markers 34 and blend. Gently. Think of dreams softening into morning light. Blend from dark to light, letting every hue melt into the next.

1.6 Step 6: Use another color to blend

With Touchliit markers 293, trace over curves, deepen a few swirls. These tiny ripples and accents will give your painting a heartbeat, a soft pulse across the surface.

1.7 Step 7: Continue to create a triple effect with a white acrylic marker

Now the magic is a White Acrylic Marker. Dot gently, draw curving strokes over the darkest spots. These are glints of moonlight, drops of memory, frozen in time.
