Day 1: Tiny Coffee Mug Painting | Easy Watercolor for Beginners

Welcome to Day 1 of my 52 Tiny Paintings in 2026! In this video, I paint a cozy little coffee mug in watercolor, perfect for beginners or anyone who loves tiny, whimsical art. I share my process, tips, and little insights as I create this tiny piece. This is the first of 52 tiny paintings I’ll be sharing every Tuesday. Follow along on this colorful, creative journey! 🎨Mei Liang colors used in this painting: The background: Cadmium yellow The heart: Madder red The mug: mixture of Prussian blue with just a little black The table: same as the mug but a lot more water added to make it lighter SUPPLIES BEING USED IN THE 2026 TINY TUESDAY SERIES: Arches paper: https://amzn.to/47LyJcr Arrtx Colored Pencils: https://amzn.to/3YjuS2a Watercolor Brushes (Princeton Snap): https://amzn.to/4i3bI9J Watercolor Paint (MeiLiang, Student): https://amzn.to/49d0xJb Black Micron Pens: https://amzn.to/4aJrxRk White Gelly Roll Pens: https://amzn.to/4jzkQDN Heat Gun: https://amzn.to/49DQj4P Please note that some of the links I provide are affiliate links.
