Audrie has given us such an awesome inspirational site this week: RAIN on Pinterest. I chose this fabulous painting: http://www.pinterest.com/pin/387591111652226448/
I used distress inks, and tree stamps to create the scene. Black copic multi-liner to extend the tree trunks in the foreground, and then a black distress marker to darken the trunks. White gel pen for highlights. I carefully added colors on the path just like the painting to create the wet road look, as I've never done a wet scene before and wasn't sure if I could pull it off with inks.
TIP: The pathway had started to get too dark with the build-up of inks, so I spritzed with water and dabbed a tissue onto it to lift off the color - wow, it all lightened up up instantly - it was like letting the sun shine in.

WOW, WOW, WOW,... This is most stunning Cindy!!! I like yours better than the original. Your wet street is breathtaking, and I like the light coming from the end. You're on a roll, don't stop.
