Join me in the park for a cozy fall plein air painting session! 🍂 Today I’m sharing my thoughts on painting outdoors, the power of toned canvases, and how overcoming limiting beliefs can open up your creativity.
In this video, I paint an autumn landscape using a burnt orange/brown toned canvas that brings a warm glow and depth to the scene. I’ll explain why toned canvases can make such a difference, what to keep in mind when using them, and how they can help you capture that rich autumnal atmosphere.
This painting is a warm-up for a new project inspired by the old masters — a holiday release of small, dark, moody landscapes. If you’ve ever been curious about plein air painting, oil painting techniques, or how to break through creative blocks, I think you’ll find this helpful.
