This tree on campus was partly brown, yellow and green. It was like seeing the many stages of fall all in one moment. I've painted many trees before so I had some idea how to paint the various effects. The yellow was mostly yellow ochre (PY43) with some benzi yellow (PY154) accents. The brown was burnt yellow ochre (PR102) with some perylene maroon (PR79). The strategy for making fall colours is to mix an earth colour with a higher chroma version of the same hue. I kind of thought fall was over and the cold weather would arrive, but is nearly like summer weather this week.
