28/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Painting 28 is a lighthouse with a crashing wave. This is one of those paintings that looks more intimidating than it is. Simple shapes, simple lines and techniques that we'll follow one at a time. The trickiest part is the dry brush technique in the water, but there's no rush on that part, so take it slow and practice your strokes on another piece of paper if you need to. 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 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 green shade (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 (briefly at the beginning), round 4 - all Princeton brand
