Still life is a great way to work on SEEING even if you’re primarily a landscape painter. This is the crux of painting for me, how can I show the viewer what I want them to see. Carol Marine said, “if you don’t know what color it is, it’s probably gray”, which is of course what makes the color so vibrant.
I have yet to paint a nocturne, but so admire them. You pulled it off.

Colin, the workshop was awesome, and we were exhausted by the end as well. I don’t think any of us had ever looked so closely at what we were painting before. And it really paid off. Thanks! And I’ve been thinking about painting night scenes, these are an inspiration.

Hey Colin these sure are some sweet nocturns, especialy the top one with its peppering of intense color/light. More fuel for my continous applause of your paintings.
