Man, you are just só very good at cityscapes! The suggested details on those facades on the right are so very well done!
Hanalei Valley Plein Air
Here is another quick plein air piece done in Hanalei Kauai. It is tricky painting outdoors here as conditions change rapidly all the time. Aloha

I want it brighter. Any suggestions?

Many of the previous suggestions make sense, but I think the key problem is that you have too many midvalues and too little lights. Compare the black and white version to the munsell scale and that will probably confirm it. The few lights are also mixed in too much, you don’t really have any light plane. If you decide where logically a lighter plane could sit, brighten that up with a light colour and make the surroundings darker, the contrast will make it pop. Basically it’s best to define your bigger planes first in terms of light and dark and not mix them up too much. By the way, avoid pure white. Use white with a touch of a warm yellow (like yellow ochre or cadmium yellow light, not lemon) or a warm red. The biggest contrasts are most likely to occur in the foreground.

You are very good at this. Daring colours, great light, no mud! Wonderful atmosphere.

Started painting early 2025, in acrylics, I also experiment with gouache, soft pastels and recently water miscible oils. No art school background.
