Tutorial: Painting A Rain Scene

Artist: Blake Rottinger

Blake: This tutorial will cover the the effect of wetness on lighting, demonstrated on a matte painting of a rainy environment.

I cover some basics in matte painting such as cutting out different photos and collaging them, as well as separating and molding them with painting. I also go into the theory and the painting techniques you should know when creating a raining scene, explaining how to tackle lighting.

An important feature to keep in mind is that wet objects hit by lighting become light sources creating their own reflections.

I also explain how light sources act with depth in rain and the amount of moisture in the air. I also cover the photoshop tools you can use to add water effects and the matte painting techniques to blend them seamlessly into the scene.

It looks great ! However I feel like the rain should have a slight inclination, if you see what I mean ? Because I've never been in a rainstrom with no wind at all. x) Cheers !
