"Hello, my name is Savago Lome. I'm an artist here in South Florida. Today I'm going to show you how to oil paint rain. I choose the subject who is two cats sitting under the umbrella because the cats always are afraid of the rain and the water and when we think about the umbrella, we usually think about the rain. So these two subject like contrast with the main thing. So now I'm going to etch some drops of water all the way, all the perimeter of my umbrella. I'm going to use the palette knife and just pick up the white color and put it like this. These drops are going to play on the light. So you can continue like all the way like, like this. You can detail some drops, use your brush. So, and now I want to make some shadows on the cat to show the wet asphalt under them. I use the ivory black that I mix with the yellow. So it's going to have some olive shade color and I use a palette knife just like this. And when we go to the light; this light paint, we use the light gray, gray color and make horizontal strokes to show. This is Savago Lome, thank you for watching."
