How to Paint a Rainy City Street Scene with Acrylics

[@kathywright7083]

Love the carrot people. Never thought it would be so easy

[@richardzink6026]

As a novice I like this type of painting you explain this so well very nice

[@Plumbum1384]

It‘s such fun watching you create art and just going with the flow. Makes me want to grab a paint brush and have a go myself.

I am not sure what happened to my comment? Dear Lord is it in another artist's video . I had said...OMG I was just talking to an artist friend about you 10 minutes ago and boom this popped up.. I was saying your art distinguishes you from most anyone I watch on KZbin. I am not being hyperbolic when I say...your work takes my breath away. Your talent, visions, richness of color...even the texture and direction of each brush stroke brings everything to life right before my eyes. Now I am just gushing on. I should have just said...I kinda like this one. 🤣😂

I love impressionist works. I’ve always found them to have a dreamlike quality. Don’t get me wrong, I like realism as well especially artists like Robert Bateman. This picture reminds me of a Manhattan street on a dark, grey day. I love rainy, grey days. I really like the reflectiveness in this painting too.

[@gregorysmith1759]

I love abstract cities when it's raining, umbrellas and the streets reflection, florescent paint, awesome painting !

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you!!!

You ARE the Bob Ross of this Century! I was cooking breakfast while I watched this and your soothing (low) voice and painting insights were awesome!

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thanks mom!! I love you!❤

[@WScloudchaser84]

Love it beautiful you can feel the city you can feel that wet day the damp it comes out in the painting

[@gracenmotion2402]

Really enjoyed this. Not only loved the painting but also listening to you talk it through. I’m also a Bob Ross fan and starting to get into cityscapes. Again, thanks for the tutorial and I’m now a new subscriber. Happy Painting to you.

[@Siftedheart]

[@lydiabroderick867]

"Well said, Lydia." 😅 I loved this video and really, really need to see another 10 or so, at least. There was a particularly difficult time in my life when I watched a Bob Ross video every night before bed. He was such a sweet person and so soothing to watch and listen to. Now when I want to be soothed I watch Nightwish, which is symphonic metal - I think the order would be reversed in most people's lives, but I'm left-handed and was a breech baby...so there you go. I do still turn on Bob sometimes to see the little creatures he helped raise and to hear him name trees he's made out of squishy paint. When he waves at the end, I always wave back. A Bob Ross magnet would be soooo cool. Anyway, this was a wonderful video. I love to watch you lay down color that suddenly becomes a building or person. And it's always fascinating to hear the thought process behind a piece of art. I definitely vote for more of these. ❤

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you Mary! Yes! Bob was and still is such a gentle soul. I was so happy when I found his full length videos on KZbin! I was like a little kid; I got all giddy.😂 I'm so glad you liked the video. I'll be posting some more like this. I honestly wasn't sure if anyone would be interested in watching, but I am really pleased with the response so far!😊💞 Thank you!

[@dianecharest8365]

Yu are good Lydia. Thank you for showing the instructions on how the process goes.

[@michelleboden2410]

I love the voice-overs make me smile love the colours

Thank you Michelle!!!😊

I love this one so much ❤ Thanks for sharing.

[@reneecochran7563]

I just discovered your channel, and I absolutely love your work! I am always drawn to rainy scenes like this, and may have to give this a go. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing work.

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you so much Renee!!!❤

[@marlan5681]

I loved watching you create this. Love the carrot people too. ;)

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you Marla!!!💞

[@CicoinTokyo777]

It’s just sooo beautiful! I love it ❤and thanks for the carrot people method 😂so effective

[@davidseterart7688]

Just working on this one myself on a 16x20 inch solid board instead if a canvas and so far so good. I think my only concern is not defining a sidewalk but I'm ok with that. I have to tackle some cars front and back view and add some interest along the front of the buildings as that's what really sells the illusion. New subscriber looking forward to more here.

[@stephaniepotterart]

Totally mesmerizing! It gives such a peaceful vibe! You nailed it! The voice over was great too! 👍 My Gma showed me Bob Ross when I was a kid, he was such a master painter and a gentle soul. Great video!

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you Stephanie!!! 😁

[@phillipwhitaker1960]

Awesome. As always! Thank you.

[@angelamccoll9786]

I have just stumbled upon you and you are amazing! Thank you for all the great tips..I have just finished learning how to do carrot people from Bob Burridge youtube but you take it to a whole new level! I agree that the background music is too loud and makes it hard to hear and concentrate on what you are saying . Thank you again I am a fan...👍👍👍✨✨

[@kccolly8459]

Your colors are stunning! Supa talent right there!

[@lydiabroderick867]

Hello from Canada Lydia Watching you is so interesting Thank you for sharing

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you Tracy!!!😊

[@jolandatelindert5966]

I just watched the "long" version. I love the way you paint, intuitive. Not want to explane what is going on but just by doinig what you feel. I am moved you use your talent, keep on doing that 😍 Ps I want the Bob Ross magnet toooooo

[@lydiabroderick867]

I really appreciate that... So much. Thank you! ❤🙏😊

[@jolandatelindert5966]

[@KathleenPitts-p6z]

Thank you! Love it!!

Totally get that .... hahahha ... my kids say I totally zone out when I paint 😆😆

[@dorothyclayton4728]

Love this

[@gratefulcreations]

It what can we eat???? Lol 😝 I haven’t worked with oils ever. They intimidate me. Acrylics are familiar and I guess more comfortable with

[@lydiabroderick867]

I felt that way too at first, but I love them now. They are pretty easy to work with once you get used to the slower drying time.😁

[@azalea1404]

Really cool painting, great colours and a wonderful autumn atmosphere. Btw: I'm slightly hearing impaired, so would you consider not adding the music to your voice over? The music makes it difficult to hear you, despite the music is nice. Apropos Bob Ross saying "There's no mistakes, only happy little accidents". I also love Lisa Lachri's statement: "No, you didn't ruin anything. You are just not done."

[@lydiabroderick867]

Thank you! I have in fact cut the music in more recent videos. This video was made over a year ago and I was still relatively new to the editing process. 😊

[@tmerk4292]

Lol i like your style

[@brigittewachter8311]

Fantastisch 😮😍😍😍👏👏👏👏

[@annamitrokhin75]

The music is too loud !!! The painting is great. Thank you.

[@ellane-d9w]

The Guy in the background should be on a bike🙄just my feeling when looking at him. ❤

[@dorothyclayton4728]

Loose the music, please, love your work 🤗🤗🤗

[@coffeewithlinda]

The background music is VERY distracting and makes it hard to hear you…

[@spiritualstars]

I adore you as a painter, ❤ but I wish the background music would be off completely or turn it lower and also I know you’re goofy which is lovely but not so much goofy at the beginning of the video as you look like you don’t even know why you’re there but I know that’s your personality so we can’t change that maybe just adopt more professional stance at the beginning. This is about you believing more in yourself front of camera x I adore you, and if I only had your skills lol, That is just my opinion and I will give him it because I’m like you should be on at least 500,000 subscribers by now because you are absolutely amazing and I think so much goofy at the beginning, could lose people.
