Rain has been a motif that I constantly revisit. I love rainy cityscapes. There are so many surface variations on a rainy day: wet concrete, reflections from cars and buildings, misty atmosphere, the list goes on. The key challenge in creating a rainy day scene is to get the values correct which are usually compressed on the lower end of the value scale. I have spent quite a few hours in the rain sketching wet streets! I am currently working on the 18 x 24 version of this painting. I will post more rainscapes as they appear.
