73/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Birch tree for 73! Calling back to when we painted these trees in winter, now we're going to add fluffy leaf bunches that really warm up the painting for fall. I tried using the card technique like last time as well, but it didn't work out as good. So today I show how you can use a dry brush to achieve this same affect. 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
