🌿 Paint a Mini Landscape Without Using Green Paint From a Tube (Patreon)

Today, you're painting a tiny landscape—just 4 x 4 inches—with one important rule:

No green paint straight from the tube!

Every green in your painting must be mixed by you using other colors on your palette. Try creating greens from combinations like:

Blue + Yellow

Ultramarine + Burnt Sienna for muted greens

Blue + Yellow + a touch of Red to neutralize

Experiment with warm and cool yellows and blues to see how dramatically your greens change.

Your landscape can be a mountain scene, rolling hills, a forest, a meadow, a lakeside, or even your own backyard. The subject doesn't matter—the focus is on exploring the incredible variety of greens found in nature.

Remember: Every master landscape painter learned that the secret to believable landscapes isn't finding the perfect tube of green—it's learning how to mix the perfect green for that moment in the painting.

Have fun experimenting, and don't be afraid to make a few "ugly" mixes along the way. Sometimes the most beautiful greens are the ones you never expected! 🌿🎨
