79/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Spooky trees for 79! So many fun applications for this technique. Lots of wet into wet for the first two layers, so watch those all the way through first. The key for the second layer is going to be waiting for the paper to be almost dry so that the paint stays in a tree shape but still has a slight bleed. Add as many laers as you like to get a more dense forest. 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
