I agree that painting small can be relaxing and I don't feel any pressure about mistakes. I love to paint little flowers or dragonflies then make them into bookmarks to give to family and friends.

I love the way you explain things, like the amount of water, mixing colours how and why, dealing with unexpected amount of water or color etc. I am so happy that you are sharing your knowledge and joy with us. Thank you so much!

[seannadoxsee]

I just purchased this and I am getting ideas for the paint colours to fill it with. Thanks for your suggestions

[MsSylvana]

I totally enjoyed this simply beautiful tutorial ✨👌🏽🪷

[bettygriffin]

I have been in a discouraging slump recently. My work was better when I first started watercolor 8 months ago than now. However, your tiny flowers changed things. My flowers actually look good thanks to you. I have found renewed hope since watching and rewatching your tutorial. Thank you for your easy manner and example.

I too love to paint small primarily because my space available for painting is extremely limited. I became sold on the idea of painting small after reading Joyce Washor's book: "Big Art small canvas" now republished as: "THINK BIG paint small." 😊

[bevclarke]

So much simpler and non stressful. Perfect for the watercolour cards with envelopes I bought on Amazon. 😊

Earlier this year I had to spend several weeks in bed flat on my back. A tiny pallet, painting journal, and water brushes( with a water well right in the handle), were a sanity saver.
Learned to have a gentle touch and patience!

When I practice or doodle, I go smaller than 5x8. (I have that same PR journal & snap brushes, btw😊). If using, say, a 9x12 paper, I'll line it into several sections to do different types of scenes on one page. Saves on paper and paint for practice. Good show👍

Lovely tutorial Emma, small but mighty!

[crystalzummo]

i have that palette and the tiniest book i have ever had ! it is a fun challenge to do and travels so well .

[TheClutterLady]

Painting tiny makes my paint and paper go so much further while still getting practice in and being able to finish a painting faster. So even if it doesn't turn out the best, I don't feel like I wasted a bunch of time or supplies. Plus they are often adorable! I will paint the same thing multiple times but in different sizes, which makes it feel new again. Some I'll use as note cards, others I'll frame to decorate my home, and others are just to see how tiny I can paint.

I paint small evytime bc it's watercolors on nails. 💅. But you are the first content creator I've actually have learned from and quickly. Sometimes we get request from clients on specific flowers, like Hibiscus flower 🌺, so I quickly found your tutorial here on YouTube and had a VERY happy client. So THANK you so much for taking the time teaching us😊

[NessaWolfeMuller]

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing your talent and insight.
