Hi Everyone! I can't believe this week starts 2026 and a brand new 100 tiny paintings project. Below is the schedule and topic theme for the month of January. As a reminder, this year the 100 tiny paintings will revolve around a new technique each month, keeping the same Tuesday/Friday schedule so that we end up with 8-9 paintings per month and 100 by the end of the year.

The theme for January: Wet into wet and water control

Jan 1st: live class 12PM MST

The link to this class will be posted here on patreon Thursday morning and will be recorded and saved for anyone who can't make it.

This live class will deep dive and cover the basics of this month's technique: wet into wet and water control. We'll talk about the basic elements, how to mix "puddles", how to know the amount of water/pigment ratio you need depending on what you're painting, when to add more water directly too the paper, and how to correct and take water out of your mix and paper. We'll also cover exercises you can practice in your sketchbook and "homework" to help you improve this technique in stress free ways before you start on a painting.

Tuesday/Friday tiny paintings: Each Tuesday and Friday this month a tiny painting will be posted by 12 PM MST. The tiny painting videos include full video instructions, color mixing and reference photos and sketch outlines when applicable.

End of month live class: Jan 26th @ 12PM MST

At the end of the month we will paint a picture together from a reference photo. This class is also recorded and saved so you can watch back at any time. We will be voting on and choosing together a picture that uses a lot of the wet into wet technique we have gone over this past month. This will help us solidify what we've learned into something bigger as we walk through how to paint a piece from start to finish, live.

I also have some videos for my you tube channel planned for the month of January that I will be posting here so you can watch them ad free.

Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
