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

   “For my nocturne palette, I specifically like to use Ultramarine Blue, Cobalt Violet, Manganese Violet, Viridian, Alizarin Crimson and Transparent Oxide Crimson. The heat brown allows hold the paint mixtures from obtaining also cold. I discover these subjects inspirational mainly because the delicate color and value shifts build a wealthy, moody emotion.”

   “A single of my a short while ago completed pieces is called Loire Valley Twilight. This piece was primarily based on a plein air sketch produced in 2018 and showcased a degree of realism. Having said that, it is a carefully composed piece where by I experienced to organize, invent and redesign all the factors to make the composition work. This features shades, values as properly as the person components in the portray. For example, the boats in the foreground ended up totally manufactured up centered on the normal types of vessels you’d come across along the river. The values ended up also very carefully executed to build that precise time of working day when the sunshine sets, and the to start with lights of the town occur on.”
