Hi Just to move slightly. How SMALL do you paint or create.I am in the middle of doing ’small’ pictures that are only 7cm squared in watercolours.
The main problem is not just being able to see what I am painting but the litttle brushes often spin out of your hands ususlly dragging paint with them. What about you!
Do you do small tapestries or similar?
Cheers

I have the deepest respect for artists who can work in such a small area.

It seems that the kitchen is a favourite space. Any more kitchen artists or do you have a shed put aside to create in.

I several “spare” rooms now that children have left home, but still end up painting in the kitchen,because the surfaces can cope better with drips and spills and the light is better as we have a fluorescent tube. (Low energy bulbs are good for the environment, but not for the artist!)
Not particularly small, but I have to clear away each time, so sometimes inconvenient.
