Kristin Van Leuven - 91/100 tiny painting challenge for 2026
About This Title
Pumpkin and flowers for #90! I am so excited to show you how using gouache with watercolor can be a perfect companion depending on what subject you paint. Pumpkins are a great subject for gouache, and we focus on mostly watercolor in the flowers to keep them light and loose. This painting can be taken slow, but I do like to move quickly so that the colors bleed into each other a little bit. 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.
Gouache: zinc white by Winsor and Newton
Paint: For this project I am using a split primary palette. All colors are Winsor and Newton, except the manganese is Holbein - cad yellow deep, lemon yellow, cad red, perm. rose, ultramarine blue, manganese, indigo and sap green. The colors I'm using today are - cad yellow, cad red, perm. rose and ultramarine.
Brushes: round 4 & 10 - Princeton
