For concentration 3, I did "Kentucky Rain". For this project, I decided to do acrylic. I did downtown Apex to add something that related back to me. So for the buildings, I didn't paint strokes, I mostly blotted the paint because it's dark and it's supposed to be raining, so I didn't think that in real like they would appear smooth. I've never done rain in a painting before, and I still don't really know how to. I'm hoping the dark, blotchy buildings will add to the effect. I plan on doing everything in the picture blotchy type painting, except the water puddles on the road. I think that will add to the raining effect. After the painting is finished, I'm going to try to add some white marks to make it look like it's raining. The person "thumbing for a ride" has a guitar, sort of an archetype for Elvis, and the truck is going to have a Kentucky license plate to add more references to Kentucky Rain.
I have finished this piece and I am very proud of it. Although I didn't do exactly what I had hoped, I still think it turned out awesome.
