88/100 tiny painting challenge for 2025 (Patreon)

Steamy mug for 88! Imagine your favorite mug with your favorite golden liquid - let's paint it! For this one since there is a lot of wet into wet during the beginning, I would suggest watching from start to finish first to understand some aspects of the process. We have been working on mist and this is a very similar concept. Focus on contrast for your steam to appear and have fun with the shadows in your mug. 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
