Hello and welcome to the final video (Part 2) of my two-part series on painting a wet-weather street scene in watercolor! (Missed Part 1? Watch it here: https://youtu.be/80M9hka-d-g ) In this detailed, step-by-step tutorial, we bring our rainy Venice street scene to life. While Part 1 focused on the initial washes and buildings, this video dives deep into adding the crucial elements that create atmosphere and realism: the figures and their reflections. You'll learn: * How to paint and simplify figures to add life, scale, and movement to your scene. * My process for mixing realistic, shadowed flesh tones. * The three key rules for painting convincing reflections on wet pavement (they are always directly below the object, duller in tone, and sharper closer to the source). * My technique of pre-wetting the paper to create a perfect mix of soft, hard, and broken edges for that classic "wet" look. * Final touches using dry brush strokes for texture . While this painting is inspired by Venice, the techniques you'll learn today can be applied to any wet-weather subject you want to tackle in watercolor. I hope you enjoy this tutorial! - Joe --- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL * Support me on Patreon: patreon.com/joecartwright * Join my new Channel Memberships: https://www.youtube.com/@JoeCartwright/membership
