27/100 tiny painting challenge for 2026 (Patreon)

Watering can for 27! There are a few wet into wet portions at the beginning and end of the tutorial that you might need to watch all the way through first, but the rest is building up the textures and layers slowly. Watch how often I add water and tap it away on the paper towel...it's a lot! If you have too much water in your brush you won't be able to get the scratchy dry brush texture you're looking for. Aim for a mix of texture and regular blobby strokes layered together so the texture doesn't become too busy. 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, cad red, perm. rose, ultramarine blue, indigo and sap green.

Brushes: round 4 Princeton brand.
