22/100 tiny painting challenge for 2026 (Patreon)

Layered tulips for #22! There are 3 keys to making this effect work. 1: use a simple color palette so the layers look bright and don't get muddy. 2: Make sure each layer is completely dry before starting the next one. 3: each layer needs to be light enough so that the other layers can be seen through it. 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: For this project I am using a split primary palette- cad yellow deep, lemon yellow, cad red, perm. rose, ultramarine blue, cerulean, indigo and sap green. The colors I'm using today are - cad yellow, perm. rose, sap green, and ultramarine blue

Brushes: round 4 Princeton brand.
