Thursday Art and Dinner Date: November Rain




Welcome my Friends, to Thursday Art and Dinner Date!

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is November Rain. Tweety Bird is looking a little worried about the downpour outside his window! I admit I did this one in a hurry - not my best drawing! I painted the dark rainy background with acrylics.



I drew Tweety Bird in my sketchbook then added color digitally. In the bottom photo, you can see the technique I used to make the "rainy" background. I painted my canvas with black acrylic paint, then used a toothbrush to splatter white paint across the canvas. I then took a fan brush and swept up to give it the look of rain falling.


This was my initial contribution but then, I figured I should give it a little more effort. 😉


When I came up with the prompt last year, I suppose I had Guns N' Roses on the brain! One of their epic songs is called "November Rain". I decided to take on Slash with charcoals. I haven't worked with charcoals in years!


If you're a fan, you know this song and likely the video. It's really good! 



For our dinner date, I made some goat cheese! I've been back to cheesemaking and goat cheese is a monthly regular now. I add it to pasta sauce, put it on pizza and just dive a spoon in there and enjoy. It's got a nice cream cheesy texture. Here is the recipe: Homemade Goat Cheese.

If you'd like to see how I made the goat cheese, here are the video instructions on Rain's Kitchen and Garden YouTube channel.



On Rain Frances Art For Kids, I'm counting down to Christmas with my latest video How To Draw A Cozy Cabin and Sleepy Dog! All of the dogs I draw for the kids channel always look a lot like Snoopy!

  12. You did a fantastic job with Tweety! I don't like downpours. I wondered if it was Guns N' Roses that inspired this theme prompt. :) Your charcoal rendition is nice, too. I don't have time to watch your tutorial but will get back to it later. It looks like something fun to try. Thanks for hosting the creativity, Rain!

    1. To be honest Cathy, I don't know what inspired the prompt. I write the year ahead prompts each November, which reminds me....I need to get them ready for 2026!!!

  20. I love how you combine art and food in such a personal, playful way. Tweety in the rain is charming, and your technique for the rainy background really brings it to life. And homemade goat cheese. What a treat. It’s inspiring to see creativity flow both on canvas and in the kitchen.
