43/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

A fox for painting 43. I hear you: more animals! I think a sleepy fox is a perfect way to get our feet wet in this subject. Watch this one through first because if your paper dries fast, you might need to do some of the steps out of order for the background. We're working on lifting paint out, and adding paint in and knowing when you're paper is getting to the "damp" stage will be key. I can't wait to see how you do with this one! 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 phthalo 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 10 & 4 - Princeton brand
