Thank you for this. I am gearing up to join a Nocturna event in a neighboring town, with holiday decor in the square. Will be interesting as I haven't painted at night and I hope my hands aren't freezing!

Good luck! Plein air nocturnes can be so challenging, but really fun too :)

Good morning. This is in line with advice I was given in the one oil painting course I took, so thanks for the reinforcement. Really helpful to see your examples. Cheers!

Thank you, I’m glad you liked it!

Great tips, do you have an example of a painting that used the same temperature for both the shadows and lights?

[@christinakentart]

Thank you! I can’t think of many examples off the top of my head, but the paintings from picasso’s blue period come to mind
