How to bring your paintings to life with reflections: "New York in the Rain" live painting session

  • Here I share how I paint a New York Cityscape scene, with acrylics and ink. I build the structure of the architectural scene using inks and handmade 'pens' I made using old brush handles and bamboo! I then work to complete the scene with reflections of the bustling intersection in the rain soaked street, sharing my thoughts on perspective and vanishing points along the way!
    Thanks for watching!

    About Paul Kenton: Paul Kenton is a UK-based contemporary artist, acclaimed for his cityscape paintings which capture the unique energy of cities across the world. Paul’s paintings aim to transport the viewer, giving them a sense of the distinctive mood, pace and light of a scene, through layers of bold colour, dripped lines and gestural paint marks. His intuitive and energetic painting approach gives fluidity and life to otherwise rigid urban structures. Paul currently exhibits his work in various galleries across the UK, and has recently exhibited in New York.

    This piece is blowing up on TikTok today. Put a price on it today and it will sell today. By the way, you won my sub. Art has been my life but drugs also took my life as well. Luckily I've grown up and have been sober now five years. Hello from Anaheim California USA

    Absolutely love your style. Has inspired me to take up painting again. My first job is to try to duplicate your work/use it for inspiration. Would love to see how you put the final touches on this painting. Amazing work!

      We can't always change what happens or happened to us, not everything is a matter of perspective.. but we can change how we react to it and those around us.. and allow it to strengthen us enough to gentle us..

      Hi there, I've been planning to post a lot more of my live painting sessions here on UA-cam for some time now, but everything has been so busy, and to be honest the live stream format of TikTok and Instagram is easier for me to get out to people! However, I'm hoping now that by starting with shorter videos of smaller works, I can start posting here more regularly! With the landscape format of UA-cam I hope to also include closeup 'picture in pictures' of my palette whilst I work, and other cool things like that!

    I appreciate your videos showing how it's done. I'm a 3rd gen artist, so grew up learning, but still doubt my abilities. I am autistic and it causes such a mental block. Trying now to learn these types of paintings, so I can be looser and actually enjoy the process, instead of being frustrated the whole way thru..
