53/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Sailboats for painting 53! A much more simple ocean scene than the last few but just as fun and satisfying. I used masking fluid for the sails, but you could use white gouache as well . 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.

Masking fluid: winsor and newton watercolor pigmented masking fluid

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
