Step-by-Step 5×5 Painting Tutorial: Everything You Need to Know

November 19, 2025 | 0 comments

Hey everyone,

as a quick heads-up… Black Friday specials are coming! I have two incredible offers this year, and if you’ve ever thought about doing anything with me, this is definitely the moment to jump in. (More details coming next week)

In today’s video, I’m walking you through the entire 5×5 painting process from start to finish — exactly what so many of you asked for. We’ll talk color mixing, transparency, layering, design decisions, and all the little moments where you have to trust yourself, make a change, or take a risk.

I’ll show you:

– How I build a base

– How I choose (and change!) colors

– Mixing techniques for softer tones

– Ways to keep your shapes interesting

– How to blend, layer, and create flow

– Why it’s okay to paint outside the lines

This video is all about letting go, experimenting, and learning how to make decisions that bring your painting to life. Remember — you always have options. Never throw those away.

I hope you enjoy the process, learn something new, and feel inspired to go out and paint.
