Rain changes the city. Reflections stretch across wet pavement, colours become richer, and people huddle under umbrellas. For urban sketchers, this is a gift.
The key to rainy day sketching is preparation: a small folding umbrella, waterproof pens, and a sketchbook with paper that can handle moisture. Use the weather to your advantage — let watermarks and ink runs become part of the scene.
Grey skies can give your sketches a mood that sunny days simply can’t match.
