Are you in tune with the turning season, lower temperatures, and autumnal flavours? Haven't you loved the recent crisp skies and warm autumn leaves? Are you embracing hygge by enjoying the changing colours, cozying up on the sofa for a film or painting the landscape?

A scene from the Harry Potter film, Prisoner of Azkaban, shows Hagrid's impressive pumpkin patch. If you are planning a painting inspired by the new season and the film, may we suggest Yellow Ochre, Burnt Sienna, Quinacridone Gold and Indigo?

Happy painting.

Are you jetting off on holiday this summer? Anyone visiting northern Italy for some sun-drenched dolce vita? Have you seen Call Me By Your Name?

If you fancy creating artwork prompted by the story's romance, charming Italian lakeside and mountainous scenery and towns full of classical architecture and earth-toned stucco townhouses, may we suggest a Call Me By Your Name-inspired palette.

Winsor & Newton's oil colours Sap Green, Yellow Ochre, Cobalt Blue and Raw Sienna are just the ticket.

Did you hear that a new version of Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice is coming out soon??

A limited series produced by Netflix is being released sometime this Autumn. Some people may say, another one?! Others may be thrilled (I am in the latter camp).

If you are looking to create artwork prompted by the story's romance and the charming British countryside, often featured in misty, early-morning walks, may we suggest a Pride & Prejudice-inspired palette. Winsor & Newton's Sap Green, Yellow Ochre, Cobalt Blue and Raw Sienna are just the ticket.

Are you ready for the heatwave next week?

It's going to be hot, hot, hot! Thankfully not as hot as on the desert planet Arrakis in the Dune movies, where daytime temperatures can reach the scorching extremes of up to 77°C (170°F).

During the peak of the midday sun, direct exposure can be fatal in minutes, forcing inhabitants into the shadows or requiring them to wear specialized stillsuits to survive.

If you are looking to create artwork prompted by the sizzling temperatures of Arrakis, or just the UK, may we suggest this Dune-inspired palette of epic desert and cool shadows? Winsor & Newton's Yellow Ochre, Burnt Umber, Raw Sienna (or Burnt Sienna) and Cerulean Blue Deep are just the ticket.
