83/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Harvest moon for 83! There is something so fun about painting a subject that looks like it's glowing with watercolor. The trick is to have high contrast between the light and the dark. I used masking fluid to mask off the edges of the moon so I didn't have to worry about painting the sky, but if you don't have masking fluid you can just carefully paint around your moon. 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
