When I started working on my tiny oil paintings, the first place I looked for inspiration (and subject matter ideas) was the sketchbooks where I keep all my watercolor marker sketches. It turns out, there’s lots of ideas to work with there!
But then the other night, it occurred to me that I didn’t have to be limited to just the watercolor sketches I’ve already done. So I pulled out my watercolor markers and started playing with new ideas. Then the next day, I went into the studio and turned a few of those into more tiny oil paintings.
One of those ideas is to play with what is foreground and what is background, as you can see by the two watercolors below, which are essentially the same except for what’s happening in the middle space. And I’m just getting started. I see lots more experimentation in both oils and watercolors as I jump back and forth between the two!
PS. I’m releasing my first batch of tiny paintings (including the ones pictured above) into my online store next week, so if you want to be the first to shop, be sure to join my mailing list!
Update: All of these paintings are now available in my online store. Click here to shop!
