What I usually do is have a layer for the foreground (bigger drops,) one for the middle ground (smaller drops,) and the background having a layer entirely depends on how you want it to look. Always aim to suggest that its raining rather than painting every single drop. So the same rules as overcast apply here, except everything is darker according to how heavy the downpour is (heavier clouds block more light.) Think of rain as interference or static in between you and the subject matter. This is way too Silent Hill-y for me, but you get the idea. Colors will pop out more on their own, but you can always add a bit of saturation to create contrast. The important thing to remember here is that the closer you are to an object the clearer it is. Fog Ill be honest, Im putting fog here because theres nowhere else to put it and it only really appears on overcast days with a few exceptions. The lack of sharp shadows also means that the shapes you will be painting are much larger and simpler giving you some respite when painting complicated scenes.ġ. Shapes will appear brighter and sharper than in sunlight because what you see is much closer to their true color. The clouds diffuse the sunlight and eliminate the extreme contrasts of light and shadow. Now when it comes to the classic sunset painting that everyone loves, the way I always approach them is to layer my colors and use (borderline abuse) clouds to bounce multiple colors off them.Īn overcast day is the plein air painters dream. So take that into account when youre drawing a scene with a sunset off frame. This happens because as the sun sets, the light it emits takes longer to get through our atmosphere, so it bounces around more (this is why the sky is blue during the day, it bounces around less) the only color that makes it to our eyes is red/orange.
Sunsets Rule of thumb: the closer the sun is to the horizon the more red/orange its light will be.
Please dont actually set fire to anything, thats not nice.Ģ. It also gives you more freedom to add detail to your shadows. By bringing the value of highlights to white or near white you give your painting that blistering sun feeling. Strong sunlight So its 40 degrees outside and the sun is dropkicking everything in sight, how do we show that? Burn everything.

Painting a series of balls made of different materials is excellent lighting practiceġ. During a clear, sunny day you have three light sources: the sun, the blue sky and the reflected light from illuminated objects (including the ground.) The latter two depend entirely on the first and whatever affects the first will affect the other two as well the clearer the sky, the darker and bluer the shadows.
Its fitting that we start with sunny weather because its a good way to learn about how light interacts with the environment. Afterwards, were going to look at specific weather effects and how we can use Photoshop to easily create a foundation for us to paint over. Today were going to go over four major categories of weather and how we can use color and light to convey them. Creating quick and easy weather effectsĬonveying weather properly can often make or break a painting when it comes to believability. Samuel Berry braves the storm to bring us some quality tips to create easy weather effects.
