25/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

25 is a greenhouse painting! You have a lot of freedom with this one creating your own greenhouse shape and the plants inside. You don't have to use masking fluid if you don't have it, but I feel like it's the easiest way to block out the frame of the greenhouse. The quickest part is the first layer as we blend for the lightest background bleeds, but after that you can slow down and take your time creating all the cute plants! 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.

Masking fluid: winsor and newton pigmented for watercolor masking medium

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.

Brushes: round size 10 & 4 Princeton brand
