Rain in Downtown New York


Today, I want to talk about my technical struggle a little bit. First of all, I usually think rainy day has certain mood, the mood is so impressive that it gives me inspiration from time to time, but I was afraid a little, I never tried that before until recently ..
Now, I decided to start with light and warm purple colors for the under painting, I do enjoy a lot of under painting effect, it's quite
effective for my character, but...by the time I was applying main colors, I knew something was not working, so I stopped working
and waited about a week..Now, I erased all the colors with bold brush with green colors and then I waited another 3 days, and
I started to apply all the details and texture.
I usally like to use the Alla Prima and Impasto not because of the technique itself, but it perfectly suits my style, because I found out
I was using that already before even I knew the name, as a matter of fact I was using both technique for last 7 years at least.
But, at this time I was totally confused technically...fortunately, my mental strength lead me to the right place and I was able to finish
this painting. I am happy now how this painting turns out, and I feel it's neccessary procedure for future development.
