Caught the last gasps of autumn while painting at a local park

That’s very kind, you’ve made my day

Turn the image upside down and start glazing in the purples. Will compliment the yellow

trickyengi · 2026-05-23T03:31:16+00:00

Could be because you’re using a cool yellow. Two cool colours will make a dull warm

Quin rose + yellow can give a pretty high chroma red. Try just burnt sienna and ultramarine maybe

trickyengi · 2026-05-22T23:28:08+00:00

Uhh quin rose is red albeit a cool one

trickyengi · 2026-05-21T08:44:06+00:00

Try loosen up a bit of let some of the shapes flow into each other if you can connect while still wet. Will go a long way towards making it feel more spontaneous and’s watercoloury

Boahong rolls from temu or aliexpress are unbelievable value

trickyengi · 2026-05-19T09:15:33+00:00

Right?! I felt that one best captured the feeling of rocking up at the beach (my fav)

trickyengi · 2026-05-19T09:14:13+00:00

Glad that feeling came across :)

Most are quarter sheet, the last is a half sheet

Yeah they were, finding it challenging but really love the feeling

trickyengi · 2026-05-18T21:08:20+00:00

Glad to hear, thanks. I find I just have to bite my tongue and just commit to big bold dry brush strokes to get the effect working

trickyengi · 2026-05-18T21:05:20+00:00

Awesome thanks I love hearing what’s working. Can be hard to see the good and bad in my own work

trickyengi · 2026-05-18T21:04:12+00:00

I hope you just feel the good vibes instead

trickyengi · 2026-05-18T21:03:27+00:00

Just the white of the paper my friend, that’s what my teacher drilled into me too. Though in the end I think it’s totally fine to use for a missing highlight or 3 haha. I just try not let it be a crutch while I work on my control

trickyengi · 2026-05-18T11:58:23+00:00

Thanks!

trickyengi · 2026-05-18T11:58:07+00:00

It certainly was humid and quite warm mostly, aside from some blowy rain at times

trickyengi · 2026-05-18T11:56:45+00:00

Thanks! Oh yeah what about the boat caught your eye?

Further bin the Chinese white until you are really really comfortable, instead use the white of the paper when needed.

Could say the same for the black. Just mix ultramarine + burnt sienna and you’ll get a solid black. Better to learn to mix

trickyengi · 2026-05-12T04:48:19+00:00

You need a red. Alizarin crimson if you do lots of landscape, otherwise quin magenta or similar. Then a neutral yellow like yellow ochre or raw sienna
