Apple c***r season deserves a color match 🍎🍂

Michaela is using Tusc & Pine Oils to recreate that warm amber color, mixing Permanent Yellow Light with Cadmium Burgundy until the orange starts landing in c***r territory.

A tiny bit of Titanium White helps give the transparent mix the same soft opacity as the drink.

Color matched. C***r sampled. Very October.

What should Michaela match next? 👀

Ever mix a color you love and then have absolutely no idea how to recreate it? 🎨

The new Painter’s Color Mixing Diary for Watercolor was made for exactly that kind of problem.

The grid gives you room to test up to 144 color combinations on a page, while the larger boxes underneath are there for wet-on-wet studies and gradients.

It’s a simple way to keep track of what worked so you can actually find it again later.

Twelve colors. Centuries of formulation. These Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil Colours were curated by Winsor & Newton’s in-house artists and scientists to anchor both warm and cool palettes.

From the oceanic depth of Ultramarine Ash to the glow of Indian Yellow. Each one is meticulously tested in their labs and formulated with the highest-grade pigments for exceptional strength, clarity, and permanence.

Many are single-pigment colors, made for cleaner mixing and truer tertiary tones - so what you see on the palette is what you get on the canvas.

Hay there, it's pumpkin patch season 🌾🎃

Michaela is matching the warm beige-yellow of a hay bale with Tusc & Pine Oils, because apparently even straw gets a color theory moment around here.

Permanent Yellow Light gets the mix started, then Cadmium Burgundy and Prussian Blue help pull it away from bright yellow and into that dry, earthy hay color.

Consider this our official descent into October.

Oil painters have a type, and it's linen. 🎨

The Centurion OP DLX is 1.5" of deep, oil-primed commitment. That first stroke of warm brown just glides. Thinned color stays where you put it and keeps its sheen, because this surface does not drink your paint.

Bold orange and red foliage borders a winding gravel road. Then the close-up hits, and you can practically feel the medium-fine weave holding all that juicy brushwork.

11"x14", 12"x12", 16"x20". Pick your player: https://bit.ly/CenturionOP1_5

Here's the top trick for surviving art supply store overwhelm: ask for help. 🎨

Brett, Retail Store Manager at our Raleigh location, estimates that 75 to 85% of customers come in needing guidance. And it's not just beginners. Forty-year veterans walk in looking for something new right alongside people buying their very first set of brushes.

The best part? Our team doesn't find the questions annoying. Not even a little. They're artists helping artists, and they genuinely enjoy it.

So if you're ever standing in an aisle feeling lost, just flag someone down. That's literally what we're here for.

How do you like them apples? 🍏🎨

Michaela is color matching a green apple with Tusc & Pine Oils and using a little complementary color theory along the way.

Permanent Yellow Light and Prussian Blue build the green, then Cadmium Burgundy softens the intensity and brings it closer to that natural apple color.
A very fall way to talk about color mixing.
