To input the value #: fff9c7, simply follow the instructions shown on the image below:

Now we’re all set to paint in the light on the horizon. Click on the “Light 1” layer, activate your Brush tool (B) and then follow the steps on the images below:

The result should be similar to the following:

When you’re done, select all the layers that you’ve created and the press Ctrl/Cmd + G to group the layers. You’d notice that a folder will be created; to see the layers, simply click on the drop-down button. Rename this Group to “Background”.

Step 3: Add Rain

Now in this step, we will be adding rain to make the image look it is in the middle of a mighty storm. To do that, we will need to create a new layer first (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + N) and name this new layer: “Rain 1”.

With that done, activate the Brush tool (B) and then open the Brush pack: “digea rain brushes” by Jelena Jovovic – before everything else, make sure that you have downloaded these brushes on the Photoshop Brushes directory (Adobe Photoshop > Presets > Brushes).

Now we will open the brushes. To do that, first right click on the canvas while the Brush tool (B) is activated and then click on the drop-down menu to show the advanced Brush’s options. See image below:

Once you’re done with that, we will Load the brushes from the directory where we saved it.

Now, upon clicking “Load Brushes” from the menu, it would prompt you to the Photoshop Brushes directory. Locate “digea rain brushes” and then press OK.

Once open, right-click on the canvas while the Brush tool (B) is activated and then pick the following brush:

Once loaded, use the following settings for the Brush tool (B).

• Brush size: 2500px
• Hardness: Default
• Opacity: 100%
• Flow: 100%
• #: ffffff

Now, let’s paint the rain!

The result will be:

Now, because the wind on the sea is facing the West, we’re going to flip the “Rain 1” layer to make it more realistic.

Activate the Transform tool (Ctrl + T) while the “Rain 1” layer is activated. Right-click on the canvas to activate the contextual menu and click on Flip Horizontal.
