It’s the season for orange things: pumpkins, leaves, fireplaces, and of course paintings! In this video, let’s celebrate the gorgeousness that is orange—its glowing warmth, its versatility, and the unique challenges it brings to painting! If you love orange, I’ll show you how to capture its vibrancy even in shadow, keeping that rich orange glow alive. But if orange is a color you find a bit overpowering, I’ll share an example of toning it down with complementary colors to create beautiful, more neutral orange. We’ll go over a few shadow ideas for orange subjects and explore different ways to make orange work for your style. Plus, I’ve included tons of painting examples featuring orange to spark your creativity. ✨
Whether you're an orange enthusiast or a bit hesitant, this video will help you make the most of this powerful color in your art. Grab your paints and let’s experiment with orange together!
