The season is changing from bright fun colors to more of a monotone landscape. But that doesn't mean that your paintings have to be boring. Here are 12 autumn moments that you can capture and paint to spice things up this fall season.
1) Fall Foliage - showcase your yard, park, neighborhood, trail, or even at your local botanic garden. Fall Foliage is packed with unique colors and textures that make couples painting fun and interesting.
2) Coffeehouse - We all know that it's PSL season! What better way to get cozy than by sitting around in your comfy clothes with a nice warm cup of chai or pumpkin spice anything and painting. The rich tones of caramels, butterscotch and cream help break up the brown tones
3) Pumpkin patches - hundreds of round orange globes scattered throughout a hay bale landscape truly set the tone for any autumn painting.
4) Plaid and flannel - Yes, this is a fall clothing staple, but the designs are really fun to paint. We found a great video that shows how to paint that amazing "Buffalo" plaid that we all love so much. Check out the video here. Special thanks to Rustic Glitter for sharing!
5) Halloween - Fun bright colors of all the costumes, Brightly lit jack-o Lanterns, candy, candy, and more candy make painting this fun holiday exciting. Ghosts, Goblins, and black cats can bring thrills to any canvas.
6) Thanksgiving - Set the table for family, friends, and food. Have you ever painting your turkey before? If not, give it a try! showcase your holiday spread with your paint and brushes. Make sure to crack that can of cranberry sauce for a more light-hearted moment.
7) Día de los Muertos - This multi-day holiday focuses on gatherings by family members and friends to pray and remember those who have died, it’s believed they help support their spiritual journey wherever that may lead.
8) Harvest- Pumpkins, sunflowers, Hay, Gourds, corn, squash, and tomatoes! All great vegetables that are harvested in the fall. Make a still life and home in your inner Picasso or Braque. Add a contrasting color as the tablecloth and get those vibrant golds and yellow colors to pop.
9) Fireplaces- can you smell it? Who doesn't love the smell of a warm cuddly fire popping in the crisp autumn air. And hey, if your current house doesn't give you the luxury of having one why not paint your own! It's like your own handmade yule log perfect for the autumn time. ?
10) Cozy spaces- It's Saturday and it’s raining outside, where are you? Most likely you are cuddled up on your sofa with a good book, and a fresh cup of tea, or coffee. Now is the time to showcase your favorite place in your house, or something unique about it. Paint a picture of your house numbers, the street sign, or a stack of books. Think "outside" the box when you are stuck inside and the weather is crummy. ?
11) Reading- speaking of stacks of books ??Create your own adventure with how you paint your favorite books. Stack them, arrange them by color, or even paint them open. Books are not just for reading... Try painting them too?
12) Family- last but not least. Autumn is about connecting more with your loved ones. We often start gathering at friends or family members more around the fall and winter months either by watching the big game, or hosting family dinners being indoors is a great time to showcase that lovely family portrait - who said it had to be taken with a camera! ?
