85/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Spider web for 85! The trick for this one is to use a small hard object like the end of a paint brush or a tooth pick to create the lines for the web out of masking fluid. If you don't want to use masking fluid, you can paint the background first and add white paint lines or use a white crayon as a resist first before painting your background. 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.

Watercolor masking fluid - pigmented, I'm using winsor and newton brand

Brushes: round 4 & 10- Princeton brand
