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.

Your sky color is so beautiful here. It's that amazing combination of mist in the air and city lights. Something I've seen but would have a difficult time describing. You captured it beautifully.
