Aquarius ARTUR PRZYBYSZ`S PALETTE 12

Roman Szmal Aquarius Artur Przybysz's Palette – 12 Watercolors Atmospheric Cityscapes and Nocturnal Architecture The Roman Szmal Aquarius Artur Przybysz’s Palette is a stunning set of 12 full pans curated in collaboration with acclaimed Polish watercolorist Artur Przybysz. Przybysz is particularly renowned for depicting the historical architecture and captivating, mystical nightscapes of his hometown, Lublin. His painting style beautifully combines strong contrasts of light and shadow (chiaroscuro) with a bold, atmospheric use of color. This palette is the ultimate choice for artists who want to paint urban landscapes, city architecture, and dramatic, moody twilight or night scenes. What makes this color selection exceptional? Alongside warm and cool primary colors, the palette offers a robust selection of earth tones (Natural Sienna Light, Red Ochre, Caput Mortuum, Van Dyck Brown), making the rendering of old buildings and brick walls completely effortless. However, the true crown jewel of the set is Przybysz's Grey—the artist's own signature shade, delivering a perfectly deep, rich, and lively dark grey for night skies and street shadows. Painting Tips in the Style of Artur Przybysz: Nocturnal Glow: The secret to Przybysz's style is the extreme contrast between darkness and light. Paint the glow of streetlamps and illuminated windows using the radiant Nickel Azo Yellow and Hansa Yellow Medium, then surround them with heavy washes of Przybysz's Grey or Van Dyck Brown. This makes the light appear to physically illuminate the paper!Lively Shadows: Never paint architectural shadows with a flat grey. When laying down Przybysz's Grey, drop in touches of Cobalt Blue or warm Red Ochre wet-on-wet. This infuses your shadows with incredible depth and atmosphere.Brickwork and Roofs: Cadmium Vermilion and Caput Mortuum make a brilliant duo for painting aged brick buildings and terracotta roofs. By mixing in a touch of Phthalo Blue (RS), you can achieve beautiful, cool shadows on the masonry.
