Create a mystic night scene with rainy atmosphere.

1. Few preprations are required before you start. First basic step is a concept. Bring
down your thoughts on paper. Scan it if needed.Try to colour them roughly with simple patches of colours considering the atmosphere you want. Once you are happy with the result its time to finalize. Before we start our final work we need to collect high resolution images. Refrences and image library is very important. A good image source is ShutterStock. This the final result. Before you start it’s a good idea to divide your page. Normally horizon line should be off center so that it dose not divide the picture into 2 parts.

2. Start colouring the water first with an airbrush with an textured brush so that it gives no sharp edges. Everything should be smooth. Opacity of the brush is 50%. This gives you an overall idea of the placements.

3. Now in a new layer above the water layer start adding details: some mountains foreground mountains dark and
background ones light; also some debris floating on the water or some small plants.
