In this video Zsuzaanna explains how to mix paint without going through a zillion hues. Using non primary colours, specifically for autumn, she shows you how to establish a simple, limited palette, that gives you all the colours you need you create a coherent picture.

Landscape artist Zsuzsanna Pataki is a visual storyteller: an award-winning cityscape artist (2016 Kent Open), industrial colorist, with an eye for colour and beauty in unexpected places.

Zsuzsanna captures the atmosphere of a place with a quick hand. She moves from liquid translucent washes thrown with precision to thick layers of broken colours worked with the palette knife; metallic finishes of gold and silver introduce a further dimension of constantly changing reflected lights. Zsuzsanna invites the viewer to take part in the creative experience, which is thus shared between the painter-storyteller and viewer-protagonist.
