I am wanting to do a landscape painting where it is raining and I have been looking for some tutorials. I want to use OIL but most of the tutorials are acrylics. Anyone know of a good lesson to watch? (Or tips on painting rain in oils welcomed!)

Hi FGP....is it sitting rain, falling rain, rain on glass?

    Terry...want to do light falling rain. Tom....I watched that one of Bill's and it was not quite what I was wanting.

      Mmm, the favoured method is as always the simplest, straight but different length lines which come down at about 45 degrees. This link may help (jump to 7 minutes) .I used a knife to cut them in rather than a brush when i did my " Snails shelter" painting...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_4ghkAaEzw

      Personally i don't think there is anything in acrylic painting that can't be achieved with oils, i have only ever painted with oils and have followed many acrylic tutorials

      I know there is an episode that Bob make rain coming down from clouds in a distance. I don't know the name, season and/or episode. From what I remember, he pulled down paint from the bottom of the clouds the same way we make reflections in the water. You can angle it or pulling it straight down. The effect was spectacular. Though, it doesn't look like light rain falling down but more like a heavy rain/thunderstorm type of rain.
