55/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Loose people figures for painting 55! I have had so many of you ask how to add people to paintings in a loose easy style, so I'm excited to show you today. Add faces if you like, but remember all you need is the general shapes and not many details to get the point across. Light and shadows also play a major role. I can't wait to see how you paint 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
