"Raindrops" is more than just a painting—it’s a study in perception, perspective, and patience.

 

On a rainy day, I tried to take a photo of a lone tree outside my car window. My phone camera refused to focus on the tree, instead sharpening only on the raindrops on the glass. I didn’t want to roll down the window and get wet, so I kept snapping pictures, hoping that at least one shot would show the tree in focus. None did.

Frustrated, I almost gave up—until I looked closer. The tree was in focus… just not in the way I expected. It was upside down in each raindrop, each one a tiny lens bending light in a different way. That moment of unexpected discovery made me realize: this had to be a painting.

 

Why This Piece is So Unique:

 

🔹 Unparalleled Detail & Mastery – Every single droplet is the untouched white of the paper—no gouache, no white paint—achieved through painstaking masking and intricate shading.


🔹 A Study in Light and Perspective – The tree in the background is intentionally blurred, but inside each raindrop, it appears in focus, upside down, and slightly shifted in perspective.


🔹 Precision Process – It took a full week just to mask each raindrop, ensuring perfect preservation of highlights before any color was applied.


🔹 20+ Minutes Per Droplet – Each raindrop was individually painted and shaded, totaling four months of work to bring this piece to life.


🔹 10-12 Layers of Watercolor – Some areas of the painting contain dozens of layers to achieve the soft, blurred depth of the background tree while maintaining the illusion of refraction and water tension.


🔹 Framed to Enhance Its Beauty – Custom double suede matting in grey and dark blue complements the composition, while the dark blue metallic wooden frame with ornate inset adds an elegant finishing touch.
