8965 Reflections (Acrylic, 55 minute) As seen on PBS, this classic Jerry Yarnell Inspiration of Painting lesson breaks down reflections in a calm, logical way—showing how they relate to the objects above them, how to control softness and edges, and why reflections are usually darker and less detailed than their source. These principles apply to water, wet ground, ponds, lakes, and quiet streams, and they translate beautifully across acrylics, oil painting (including water-mixable oils), and watercolor.
   As always, Jerry emphasizes observation, value control, and letting the brush do the work—helping painters avoid common mistakes that make reflections look stiff, mirrored, or unnatural. This lesson is especially valuable for beginners, but even experienced painters will gain clarity and confidence when painting reflective surfaces.
