It's not spring yet! Let's paint a snowy cabin without using white paint

Paper: arches 140 lb cotton 9X12" paper that I've cut into 3X3" pieces, giving me 12 pieces per page.

Paint: The palette I'm using today is the split primary palette by letter sparrow: cad yellow, lemon yellow, cad red, magenta, ultramarine blue, cerulean, indigo and sap green. I don't use all of these colors in this painting but I mention each one as I use them. I mostly use cad yellow, magenta and cerulean today.

Brushes: size 10 round brush and a size 4 round long brush

I am terrible with the concepts of size and sat down to measure out 3x3 yesterday. That’s so small! I’m second guessing that I’m right. Is it really 3x3?

Kristin Van Leuven

Yes, 3x3 inches! I find it ends up actually being so freeing because it’s such a small space to fill

Liz

I don’t have the brush sizes you’re recommending. What would be an alternative? I also don’t have magenta. What can I mix to make the shade?

Kristin Van Leuven

Any round brush will work! Smaller round brushes are great for the smaller details but not necessary. If you have any shade of pink or purple mixing with a bright blue and a yellow will work great

Mary

I loved this. Thanks 👍

GG

Wow-this seems like a big technique jump! Would have to watch this many times before giving it a try🥹

Patrick and Stacy McGrady

I started out on 3 x 3 paper that I cut, but then I found the cutest tiny book to paint them in on Amazon! I love these tutorials.

Kristin Van Leuven

You can do it! I think it looks more intimidating than it is 😅. Let me know how you do!

L Houston

Yay this will be my project tomorrow. I just did the northern lights one and LOVE how it turned out. This has been so fun and I’m learning a lot. (Like BUY THE GOOD PAPER)

Kimberly Early

I’m really hoping to do all three tomorrow! I’m loving watching you and getting inspired!

I joined to do the 100 paintings project and I am enjoying it, but I am having a hard time getting the colors you do when you mix - could you spend a little extra time describing/showing how you get the colors? Maybe they are influenced by the colors already already on your palette and that's why I can't match them?

Jessica Gardner

This was great. Fun and mindful. Easier than journaling. Thanks

Anwar Molani

I just completed my 3/100 painting. How can I share with you for any instructions.

sandy van sickel

I have terrible water control. How can I attach my pictures?

Connie Harvey

So remember I said I was terrible with concepts of size. I realized my ruler was cm and not “. That would have been terribly small!!

Elizabeth Dietzmann

wow this was done so FAST. i needed to let my painting dry a lot between steps. the first one was a middy mess!!

Kristin Van Leuven

It can be tricky because depending on where you live it can stay wet or dry super fast

Kristin Van Leuven

Hi Sandy, there is a group chat to share our photos on the community tab

Kristin Van Leuven

Hi Anwar, if you haven't found it yet, the community tab has a chat group where we can share our pictures

Jane Knutsen

I am LOVING this, but oh man I am challenged by fear-procrastination! It takes me a ridiculous amount of time to put paint to paper. I'm not an "artist" and cannot draw very well, but seeing things broken down into shapes helps me tremendously. I love your teaching style, thank you very much!

Michele Yon

Tried this one tonight. I'm thinking it didn't go so well. I'll be revisiting this one once I've had some practice. It'll be nice to see improvement.

Susan C Terris

Kristin, what brand of Cerulean Blue do you use? It's a lot brighter than mine (Daniel Smith), so I used some Prussian blue instead. This beauty was harder than it looked, and I used pens for the black to avoid blobs. Enjoying the process of learning with you.

Jean

This did not go well lol- mostly blooms and very uneven colors. Will have to try again.

Mari Maynard

A little confused by this one because trees don’t have leaves in winter unless evergreens. The snow effect is amazing though.

Kristin Van Leuven

For me it's supposed to be more icy and misty tree shapes and not necessarily a real tree. I know some trees can be more full during snow if it's early etc.

Alissa

Same! But I’m determined to get it better!

Alissa

Catching up…this one was a lot trickier than I first expected, such a great challenge for learning water control and how fast your paint dries!

Susan Cramer

I'm waiting to try this, but it does look more daunting than others I've tried. Anyway, what is in the front of your palette? It looks like a long horizontal rectangle?

Joalie

Even though I used the same 3 colors for the trees, the result was not a smokey blue color but rather a muted purple. Color mixing to get the desired color is challenging.

Blanca Rubalcaba

For some reason this video has no sound on my tablet so I went to my phone and I got the audio.

Michelle

I’m on my third attempt. I can’t get the trees! The color I mix looks like storm clouds. I’m half tempted to go with dark clouds and a bit of sun peeking through. But first, or third, I want to get the trees 😉

Ellen

I struggled with this one. The side of the house was still wet so my windows are SO wonky. On to tiny painting number 4. I do hope to catch up before the end of the year. 😂

Gail Mills

I’ve just joined Oct 1, 2025. Already enjoying it. How fun! This should keep me busy for a while.

Kathy Johnson

Hi Gail! I just joined and started the mini challenge, as well. Happy to know I’m not the only newcomer with a lot of catching up to do! Have fun, and I hope you’ll share your progress!!! 🙃

Gail Mills

Thanks! It should a fun experience. Yes, much to do. Glad I’m not the only one so far behind. I usually don’t share my attempts but maybe I will. Life gets in the way and I had to stop for a while, but I’m on #11 I think. Starting again soon.

Beverley Ann Bailey

I have joined the other day just for this challenge. I was needing more than youtube * So excited for this challenge. Learning so much ! I better get with it & catch up *smiles* Happy painting ~
