29/100 tiny painting challenge for 2026 (Patreon)

Brick wall for 29! This might not seem like an exciting topic, but if you've ever tried to paint a building with brick and textures and struggled to get the balance just right, this will help! I love the steps at the end that make it feel 3D with the shadows. I used masking fluid around the edges of the broken wall shape so I could paint the bricks right over the edge and get crisp lines. This is one you can take slow and build up the layers of texture, making sure they dry in between. I used a flat brush for thee brick shape, but you can paint each brick with a round brush as well. 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.
