There's something about a lantern glowing through rain that I couldn't resist painting — that soft halo of light fighting through the mist, silver streaks falling past it, a little greenery just visible at the base of the post. It's the kind of scene that makes you want to stand under an awning and just watch the rain for a while.
About This Painting
Watercolor and gouache mixed media on a 2.5"x3.5" ACEO card. The rainy night sky is built from layered blue-grey watercolor washes, with fine opaque white gouache lines dragged down for streaking rain, and the lantern's glow built up in warm yellow gouache glazed softly into the mist around it.
This is a one-of-a-kind original — once it's gone, this exact painting won't exist again.
