36/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Today we're painting palm trees! For the background we're talking about variegated and graded watercolor washes. Choose whatever colors make you happy, but remember that analogous colors (colors next to each other on the color wheel) will mix better together. 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(probably closer to pthalo blue), indigo and sap green.

Brushes: round 4 & 10 - Princeton brand
