Splatter flowers for today to have a little fun with spontaneous paintings. I think those little bees are stealing the show though! I can't wait to see how you do and please let me know if you have any questions.

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 deep, 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

This is exciting. The wild flowers in Arizona are out in full bloom. I love it.

Lovvvve flowers

I’m excited to do this one! I’m really learning the importance of color values! Add so much! Thanks!!!

Mary

How fun 🩷🐝

This was so fun! One thing I struggled with was getting nice big drops of splatter. 😅 In case anyone else has the same issue - Mine kept coming out as a very fine spray. After I finished, I tried doing the splatter with my different brushes and it looks like my Princeton Aqua Elite brush was the problem. When I used my Princeton Neptune #6, it came out much like yours. I guess those bristles are a bit too snappy on the Aqua Elites for splatter. I think that will help with my snow splatter issues too - LOL

Having so much fun doing these and learning a ton! I'm behind (doing #6 tonight) and hope to catch up at some point. ^_^ Thank you SO MUCH for doing this!

Laura Curley

Thanks for the tip, Heather! I usually use Aqua Elite brushes but I'll experiment with my Neptunes for this painting!

Karen

Hi -- I need a little advice with the splatters. My droplets are so fine - more like a mist - rather than a real "droplet", so when I try to use them, they just disappear. I have tried using more water, more pigment, less of each - bigger brush, smaller brush - and still I am getting tiny mist if I get anything at all coming off of my brush. Heather - I have a size 8 and a size 4 (both round) - there is no brand name on the handle, they just came with my paints.

Heather Henry

You'll have to let us know how it goes for you! 😊

Heather Henry

I wonder if your brushes are like the Aqua Elite ones. I got the same thing with both the size 4 and 10... But when I switched to my Neptune size 6 I got that nice splatter. The Neptunes seem more flexible and don't snap back to shape as quickly as the Aqua Elites. It could also be operator error on my part, but I really think there's something to the difference in the brushes. 🤔

Karen

Maybe so - they might be too stiff for that. I'm doing ok painting with them, but can't get them to generate any splatter. I do my shopping on line, I would love to get into an art store in person to be able to touch the brushes and pick something out.

Kristin Van Leuven

If you have another brand of brush you could try that. I've also noticed that my splatter looks different depending on what I hit my brush on, so you could try your finger or another brush or pencil and see if it gives you different marks

Jean

I'm having a hard time matching the colors in my paint sets to the ones you are using. I looked for the split set by Letter Sparrow but couldn't find it. Is there another set that has similar colors to the palette you are working from?

Annie

I use Daniel Smith Extra Fine Introductory Essentials set and the colors are comparable. 3 cool primaries and 3 warm primaries. (I had this set before I learned of Letter Sparrow!)

Jean

Thank you!

Kristin Van Leuven

Yes I agree with what Annie said! That's a great palette or you could make your own. One of my favorite things to do is buy the individual colors in tubes and fill my own palette. It can also be really cost effective this way too since we are using a limited palette

Jean

Thank you!!

Leslie

I'm a late arrival and very happy to be here, ty Kristen

Ida Bochner

I joined your Patreon group because I fell in love with this adorable little painting. But I am so looking forward to exploring all your other lovely paintings. ☺️

Margie Evans

beginner here, I tried splattering.... where's all the paint gone? Nothing much on the page... looked up... all over the computer, me, the dog, pretty much whole house. Definitely a technique I will have to practice :D Love this though, so I'm determined to get this right Thanks so much, I am thoroughly enjoying these tiny paintings, and yes, I have cheated and skipped some, will go back though.

Leslie Young

I love this style! I'm going to make these as baby gifts, I feel like it's a perfect little nursery painting and it can scale up in size nicely. ❤️

Sam

Will you be going back and adding a YouTube link for the earlier paintings too? The auto-generated captions & translations would be so lovely to have! Thank you so much -- loving this series!

Shelly

I joined a few days ago and have learned so much already. Thank you Kristen.

Marina Reed

I loved this technique!! love these miniature paintings!!!
