Painting outdoors in Fall

by Basmanstudio

Painting outdoors in the Fall allows a painter to experiment with all sorts of golden colors. Leaves, grass and even buildings take on a yellowish tone that turns everything to a golden yellow. From the very drawing stage of my painting, I am already starting with a rich Sienna. This is followed by stages of color with reflected light bouncing everywhere. The trick is, to keep everything balanced and harmonious by using variations of yellow. When working outdoors on a painting or drawing, its best to keep an eye on how one color enhances another. This is certainly a science.
