A little better view of this little painting for the people asking for a closer look! I’m happy with how it came out, and want to keep painting this house in plein air through the year, so in a bunch of years I’ll have all kinds of views and moods of this place that is so important to me. And in case you missed it this is on a Canson art board of the “Canva” variety with a limited palette of Holbein Acryla Gouache using Scarlet, Yellow Deep and Ash Blue, with my dark as Sepia along with titanium white. I snuck a little luminous red in there but it didn’t fit and got covered up. You really don’t get many greens with this palette so I had to really lean into the warmth of the piece, which I don’t mind at all. I mostly used a stiff fan brush a small round and a small angled brush for this one. I tried to make the Halloween decorations hanging on the tree the focal point and saved the most pure and saturated oranges for that. I hope you like it! 🍁
