Egg tempera 2.5 x3.5. Inches. Was sent to Australia in a trade.

Nice work Jane. Someone got a very special painting. You manage to get a lot of detail in such a tiny painting.

 

[Jane]

Thanks its all in the paint and brush.

Amazing that you fit so much onto such a small area! Did you use Claybord for this one? Did you use the prescribed #2 Kolinsky? Anyway, you did a good job with whatever you used! And just think: that tiny painting will be here a thousand years from now.

 

[Jane]

I used a kolinsky but didn’t look at the size. I actually cut the boards, made the rabbit skin glue and gesso. The whole process, it’s all because i saw painting the light and Peter Blackwood on youtube.

Beautiful painting in any size, IMHO.

That traditional gesso really does make a nice surface for egg tempera. I made some with unflavored gelatin and marble dust on hardboard/masonite but most of it warped, but the paint really bit into that gesso.

Thank you

Wow, I can't believe you did that on an ATC! Fantastic.

 

[Jane]

Thank you it’s in the paint and kolinsky brushes.

Wow! This is also an amazing work. So cool and a lot of great detail. Cool palette too. I know what it's like to use a tiny brush. For whatever reason, I use one too, but for my bigger paintings. I don't know why. I just enjoy it. But it takes forever to finish a painting.

 

[Jane]

thanks, I used to paint larger canvases, before I finished them I was bored and had to start something new.

 

[Artyczar]

You're smart. I need to do what you do and paint smaller so I can get onto my next bright idea faster.

This is a cool card. I like the mirrored pattern and details. Lots happening in a small card. Successful card!
