74/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Apples for 74! This is such a fun pattern with all the different shapes and details added. To make sure they look like apples (not pumpkins or oranges) make a circular shape that isn't too much of an oval in width, and create the little heart divot at the top. Work fast to get wet into wet blends, or don't even worry about it and take it slow. 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 -Princeton brand
