81/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Rocks for 81! This is a fun technique using saran wrap or plastic packaging. If you don't have any, just focus on creating light values, and textures in the first layer. Once the first layer has formed and dried, then it's all about building up color and layers as we negatively paint around the rocks to make them appear. 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
