Who would’ve thought that we would be having a hard time painting some good old raindrops but here we are. But don’t worry anymore you have come to the right place. We found the 10 easiest ways for you to paint a meticulous rain drop which is going to enhance your painting 100%. With these tutorials we are going to breakdown painting a rain drop for you and the thing that seemed so intimidating will be easily do able. So brace yourself as we embark on our journey of learning to paint raindrops! These will vary from beginner to advanced level and you can choose any one that suits you the best!
The detailed painting of a rain drop can be done by using Acrylics, water colors, color pencils and even a simple led pencil or gel pens in the colors of blue and white for the extra effect. Depending on whatever you are more comfortable with. Raindrops would be one of the first things that you would be painting in a picture as they often make up the background so make sure you watch these tutorials before you select your painting!
In this beautiful canvas painting, Sabayi shows us a complete painting of raindrops with shades of blue in the background. His detailed tutorial shows us how to draw and complete the painting of every single rain drop with extreme detail and all the colors that he uses are also very visible. It’ll be easier to follow this tutorial for someone with a little experience. For a beginner the detailing of the white edges that make them look practical will be harder. The reason I’ll be giving it 3 stars is that the end product has a little animated feel to it. So if you’re going for a natural landscape this won’t be the best option for you.

This time lapse video is definitely an underestimation of the effort that goes into making one simple raindrop. Delicately drawn with a lead pencil and white color pencil are some different shapes that can be used to depict a rain drop. He first uses a pencil to carve out raindrops and then adds depth and reality to the drawing by adding white and shadows using the same two pencils.

Carol Held has taken it upon herself to teach us all the art of making a gorgeous rainy day. She believes that this step by step tutorial will allow any beginner to pain realistic paint drops but I personally believe it’s still going to be a little hard for any beginner to paint this master piece. The end result is absolutely stunning and I don’t think there is any more detailed tutorial so do try this one! Her techniques are simples and easy for anyone to learn, especially the way she’s showing us makes it all the more easily understandable. The only downside is that this tutorial is half an hour long.

A tutorial so detailed and well explained is not only ideal for beginners but for anyone because the learning never stops! Sandra J Schultz is the art teacher you dreamed for in this tutorial, the way she explains everything with steps and shows it is all that a beginner would like. With pencils she shows you how to draw and then colors them with water colors step by step. I love the fact that she also drew out the shadow with a pencil before painting. Even her painting is so detailed and slow that anyone can learn from this tutorial.

In 5 easy steps using acrylic colors very realistic rain drops are painted on a canvas. The tutorial is not very detailed but for an experienced or intermediate level artist this will be easy. A list of supplies requires is also given in the beginning, make sure you chose the right color palette to make natural and realistic rain drops because the animated effect does not work well with many paintings.
