Just as Fall is winding down, the colours are changing from red, orange, yellow to brown and grey. Actually fall ends on December 21st when winter begins, but it usually snows in November and December. It has been an interesting journey of painting this year, starting with winter scenes, then spring, summer, fall, and now almost full circle back to winter. Certain colours were more important depending on the season like I doubled up on my yellow during spring summer, then in fall included a wide range of orange and browns. As the weather becomes more drab, I have shifted the palette around some, bringing back phthalo green blue shade because it great for making cool darks. It seems likely I will try and paint outdoors this winter, excited to see how the paints hold up in freezing temperatures. One thing is for sure, I need to upgrade my winter clothes.
