Painting ripples on water.

Here is a simple way to create a few ripples such as you might see on a pool or in a canal.

I have used a number 6 brush with a good point and I made sure I worked quickly so that the I could add colour and move my lines about if I needed to.

You will need to mix a thin wash of colour, depending on the colour you see, and vary the intensity of the colour in places. By working quickly you can also drop in the colour of any reflections.
