5/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

I can't wait for you all to try this one! The votes were overwhelmingly in favor of ocean themes, so I thought we could start with a simple sky, ocean, beach combo. You're going to love this one and I'm excited to see how you do!

Here are my thoughts: This one seems simple, but the ocean part can be tricky because of the side swiping technique and the speed you need to go at. Feel free to watch this all the way through first so you know what to expect when painting. The ocean part goes pretty fast because I didn't want the colors to dry before I add them together. We aren't' using any white paint, so visualize where your ocean foam ends when you negative paint it with the sand color.

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

Brushes: size 10 round brush and a size 4 round long brush - Princeton brand
