38/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

38 is a lake dock using one point perspective! I go over sketching instructions at the beginning, but I also have an outline attached that you can trace if you prefer. Keep the sky, water and distant landscape simple. The star of the show is the dock. Build the colors up layer by layer starting with the lightest values of color and ending with the darkest layers at the end. 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. I don't use all the colors, but I will name them as I mix them. feel free to use pre mixed convenience colors as well.

Brushes: round 4 & 10 - Princeton brand
