Rainy City Painting with Acrylics | Painting with Ryan

Here we paint a rainy city street scene with acrylics. This painting tutorial will cover how to paint buildings as well as light, reflections in the water and even cars. While this cityscape may look complicated it’s actually pretty straight forward and great for intermediates and advanced painters alike.

For assistance with the drawing process or color mixing process you can find the traceable and reference photo here:

Ryan- Thanks so very much for this painting tutorial. It took me about 2 months to finish but I just started painting 2 years ago. (Plus I'm 83 years old.)

You’re sooo smart, informative, talented and such a great teacher and demonstrator. I love how you explain what your doing and why plus how and why you’re mixing paints the way you are. God bless you! Hugs from TN!

I want to paint a rainy rainy day. I love the look of lights reflecting in water. I am finding impressionism so challenging, but I love the look. Great tutorial. Thanks.

I love these types of cityscapes, but it's a bit beyond my skill set. I might attempt it one day. For now, I'll just enjoy your beautiful masterpieces😊💛reminds me of my former home NYC.
