Lake Carezza, South Tirol, Italy

Tucked in the Dolomites of northern Italy, Lake Carezza is a jewel of alpine serenity. Its turquoise waters reflect dense pine forests and the jagged peaks beyond, offering a harmonious composition that feels both peaceful and majestic.

The scene is a masterclass in cool tones—blues, greens, and grays—with subtle shifts in value and saturation. The symmetrical reflection provides natural balance, while the craggy ridgeline adds drama.

Perfect for practicing reflective surfaces, soft mountain forms, and high-contrast edges softened by distance, this landscape invites a meditative painting session.
