How to paint Peaceful Sunset using watercolor | beginner level

This painting "Harbour at Daybreak" captures a quiet sunset over a still lake, where warm yellows and oranges glow gently beneath a soft blue sky. A misty forest rests along the horizon, reflected calmly in the water, while small boats drift silently, adding a sense of solitude and balance.

The painting unfolds slowly with smooth wet-on-wet washes and gentle layering. The reflection is built with light, flowing strokes, allowing the water to feel calm and undisturbed, while the boats and birds are added delicately to preserve the peaceful mood of the scene.
