23/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Boat and water reflections for 23! Prepare yourself, the blendy parts go quick. I would watch it and practice the concept on a scratch piece of paper or premix some of the blues before you start painting. I can't wait to see how you do and please let me know if you have any questions.

Reference photos attached below!

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 a split primary I put together from Winsor and Newton paints. The colors are: cad-free yellow, lemon yellow, cad-free red, perm rose, french ultramarine blue, and winsor blue (similar to phthalo blue). I don't use all of these colors in this painting but I mention each one as I use them. Let me know if it's easier to follow when I use this palette.

Brushes: round size 10 & 4 Princeton brand
