Tempting Fall Colours

It's official that summer is over.  At this time of the year, many are interested in painting fall landscapes.

Fall scenes are not the easiest to paint. It's not easy to notice and identify the nuances  with so many bright warm colours. This is necessary to create amongst other things - depth.  A keen sense of observation is required.

• through the brightest colours, look for complementary colours.
• in some areas, it's important to use muted colours.¨Play with different degrees of muted for variety. Muted colours can take the shape of earth colours
• consider that the brightest foliage will be that that is backlit.

In addition to a good sense of observation, it's important to practice and experiment.

This is such a magical time of the year with gold and bright red leaves.  We are fortunate to be able to enjoy it.

This week's artist find is Connie Berberian.

Have a great week
