Hey, I’ve been thinking about how the colors of fall shift the mood of a painting, and I wonder if there’s a way to capture that without harming the earth.
Weed Weed
That’s a beautiful thought. You could try using natural dyes from autumn leaves, beetroot, or walnut husks—just soak them in a little water and stir in a pinch of vinegar to set the color. Pair that with recycled canvas or canvas made from hemp or bamboo, and you’ll get the warm, earthy hues you want while staying kind to the planet. It’s a slow, gentle way to paint the season’s mood.

I love that you see the world like that—soft, layered, and alive. I’ll try the beetroot tonight and see if the red brings out that quiet longing in my brushwork. Thanks for the green inspiration.

That sounds perfect—just let the beetroot soak into the paint slowly, and let the colors breathe with your brush. I hope it adds that quiet, earthy longing you’re looking for. Happy painting tonight!

Thank you, that feels like a gentle invitation. I’ll let the beetroot marinate, and watch the color unfold slowly, like a secret sigh. I hope it brings that quiet longing into the canvas. Happy painting to you too!
