70/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Line and wash landscape for 70! This was a picture I took in France, but with lots of elements I knew it would be too complicated to approach in a traditional way for a patreon tutorial. Line and wash technique was a perfect fit! I will say, this one goes fast. My goal was to capture that feeling of being outdoors, scribbling down something beautiful and placing watercolor quickly. The lines are magical though and add the shape of the objects so the watercolor can be placed more loosely and with the ability to leave more white space. 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.

Pen: Micron 01 waterproof pen

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
