52/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Under the sea for painting 52! Lots of creative freedom with this one so I can't wait to see what you paint on the ocean floor. This painting is mostly focusing on light and shadows with a light source coming from in front of us, which changes the shadows on both sides of the paper. A bit of that sun ray technique, but more subtle this time. 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 4 - Princeton brand
