9/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

We need a few more snowy paintings before we focus on spring, because it's still so cold! I would be sad if we didn't cover this negative snow painting technique for trees, so we're going to tackle it for #9. I would recommend watching the whole video first to get an idea of the colors used and the general process and then watching it again to paint it with me. The tree and the background are pretty straight forward, but some of the shadows at the end go pretty fast, so feel free to pause or slow the video down while you're watching. I can't wait to see your trees! Let me know what questions you have.

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: round size 4 - Princeton brand
