78/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Feathers for 78! In this tutorial we are heavily using wet into wet technique to create the initial shape of the feathers as well as the first color bleeds. Watch the quick wet into wet parts all the way through first so that when you do them you can go quick while the paint is still wet. Have fun trying different colors and shapes for your feathers. I added a few reference photos you can use. 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 & 10- Princeton brand
