66/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Sheep in the valley for painting 66! The first part of this painting goes fast. We have a lot of things to do before the paper dries, including lifting the sheep shapes out of the paint with paper towel. I would suggest practicing on a separate paper the lifting part. Try different washes, colors and paper to see what you like best to get a good sheep shape. 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.

Paper towel for lifting out the sheep shapes. If they don't lift, or you don't want to lift, feel free to use white gouache or bleed proof white to paint the sheep.

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 and 10- Princeton brand and a tiny 3/0 size brush
