A colour palette for October πŸπŸŒ°πŸ‚πŸ§‘ Mak A colour palette for October πŸπŸŒ°πŸ‚πŸ§‘

Making a colour palette is one of my favourite creative invitations. October is an especially good month with all its lovely colours, tthe leaves of course, and also the berries in the hedgerows, the rosehips, the sweet chestnuts, the conkers and the acorns. The light is beautifully golden, but the grey misty days are lovely too.

Mine is based on the colours of the leaves and things I collected, but making a colour palette doesn't have to look like this! You could use acrylics or gouache, coloured pencils, scraps of fabric, yarn or thread. You could use other objects that make you think of autumn colours, or a photo.

If I was to make another, I would definitely include grey for the misty days. What do you think?

On a hunt for autumn colours! πŸπŸŒ°πŸ‚πŸ§‘ Th On a hunt for autumn colours! πŸπŸŒ°πŸ‚πŸ§‘

There's lots of red, orange and brown. In one gorgeous October orange tree I saw a happy crow (I was standing at a bus stop at the time, proof that you really don't need to go anywhere special to find inspiration!).

I spotted a patch of hawthorn on the way to the post office that had beautiful red leaves as well as red berries.

Shades of orange and brown are echoed in old walls and tiled roofs.

On a very damp and foggy morning, I couldn't see more than a few metres ahead of me, which made me much more aware if what I could see. The long grasses are brown and yellow now.

And I've never realised before that my kettle is October orange!

October πŸπŸ‚πŸŒ°πŸ§‘ What I'm noticing: Some October πŸπŸ‚πŸŒ°πŸ§‘

What I'm noticing:

Some of the trees are still quite green, but there is yellow, red and brown as well.

My favourite trees outside the shop in the village are beautiful 🍁

There are lots of berries in the hedgerows and masses of rosehips. They seem to be ready earlier this year. I don't remember that many roses in June! 

I can smell wood smoke and people's coal fires. It's not that cold but a fire is always nice πŸ”₯

The evenings are really drawing in now. It's dark by the time I've finished the washing up.

The stars are so bright! And I can see my old friends Orion, Cassiopeia and the Great Bear.

Lots of people have autumn wreaths on their doors, including me πŸ₯° it seems like more of an American thing but I'm glad it's becoming a thing here too. 

The last picture is of my silly cat. I think she might be the reason why one of the little pumpkins is no longer on that string of lights, but who could resist that furry little face? 😍
