I picked up these tiny canvas thanks to my patreon supporters
I am enjoying painting small as it brings my awareness to the infinite possibilities per square inch.
Painting small allows the freedom to explore ideas quickly as well and just play.
One little dab of paint goes a long way. I noticed it only takes a tiny little dab of paint and there is still some left over after exploring all I can in one little session. This is a good way to explore on a budget.
Limited pallet of color is rewarding, I tend to try and throw every color at a painting so this time I decided to slow down and limit the color pallet and work with one color at a time and let the layers build.
Many forms and shades take form as my brush plays on these tiny little canvas. The expression of the analog brush brings my awareness to how much more rewarding it can be to paint by hand over painting by computer. The way the brush can make so many different variations of marks is fun to explore.
Lucy as mermaid commission painting I am building it up in layers. Thinking of how she will look under water and letting it develop slowly more like water color than acrylic. Well that is all for now. I am working on a setup so I can record and share my paintings as I am doing them. See you soon.
Thank you for viewing my art in progress
