The Magic of Muted Colours

In this episode I’m exploring the magic of muted colours.

Muted colours are my safe haven. They’re calming, grounding and incredibly expressive, offering a quiet power that bright colours just can’t replicate. In this episode I share why these subtle hues resonate so deeply with me and how I use them to evoke emotion in my abstract landscapes.

Here’s what I cover in this episode:

• How muted colours evoke emotion and invite interpretation.
• The basics of desaturation and its impact on mood.
• How I used muted browns and greys to capture the stillness of a forest trail in my recent Sketchbook Adventure video, Following the Trail.
• Five reasons muted colours are so powerful in abstract landscapes.
• Three creative experiments to help you explore muted palettes in your work.
