i want to paint en-plein-air to study, but I decided to move to a rainy shithole like the Pacific northwest. I have a portable gurney style watercolor/gouache setup, and really want to paint outside, but the lighting is so drab and boring that I don't feel inspired by anything.
The grey overcast sky light doesn't really reflect our bounce in an interesting way, so I'm just painting the actual color of things.
fuckin sucks buddy
I'm calling out to anyone who lives in any other cloudy rainy shithole. Does your environment inspire you? Do you paint outside? If so, what subjects have challenged you? Am I retarded?
>yes

Just go out and do it, Where i live it's sunny and only sunny all summer. The lighting and stuff is all fucky unless i stand in shade. And it gets kinda boring when i want to do some nice rainy paintings...
SO just do it mang, focus on the little things and you'll find beauty.

I discovered this book in grade seven and finally remembered it years later. It's a very in-depth overview, and it can show you how to mix primary colours in order to achieve a "broken" or neutral palette.
