Watercolor Painting: Rainy Day

While the paper is glistening (but not puddled), drop in your blues and grays.

| Mistake | Fix | |---------|-----| | Rain looks like white scratches | Add slight color (pale blue) to rain streaks. | | Muddy colors | Limit palette – use 3–4 colors + gray. | | Hard edges everywhere | Soften with a damp brush while still damp. | | Figures too detailed | Paint them in one wash – suggest, don’t render. | rainy day watercolor painting
