   Bryan Mark Taylor shared with us his paintings of cityscapes in twilight and nighttime lights in our interview with him listed here:  Voices of Practical experience – Bryan Mark Taylor. He elaborated even more on his nocturne palette for our “Nocturne Notes”.

   “For my nocturne palette, I particularly like to use Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Violet, Manganese Violet, Viridian, Alizarin Crimson and Transparent Oxide Purple. The warm brown allows continue to keep the paint mixtures from acquiring far too chilly. I obtain these subjects inspirational for the reason that the delicate colour and value shifts generate a abundant, moody emotion.”
