LITTLE CHICKADEE
Watercolor - 8x10
I normally paint finished pieces that are 11x14 inches or larger but occasionally I will go smaller. What are the advantages of painting small?
Simplify - limiting the size of the paper limits how much I can put in and forces me to simplify and pick out the big simple shapes.
Color Studies - it is quick and easy to try several different color schemes in a mini painting. I get a good idea of the color choices before investing time and supplies on a larger painting.
Affordable - these smaller paintings are affordable for anyone to add fine art to their home. It's a win-win. I learn from painting them and collectors enjoy collecting them!
Gifts - not only are smaller paintings affordable for collectors they are great gifts for anyone. I love to gift my minis throughout the year but especially for the holidays. Portable - it is very easy to work on smaller paintings anywhere. In the car, on a plane, plein air. |
