72/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Willow tree for 72! This one is a very trust the process painting with lots of hard to look at stages. Build up those layers little by little, making sure to leave the light and medium values for the drooping branches as you negatively paint around them. 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 and 10 -Princeton brand
