The Sun rises on Blue Lake - Bill Alexander (miniature painting)

Tom0779 14 Jun 2023

I always wanted to try a miniature picture in oils. I did some even smaller ones in watercolors.
To find any episode suitable was already a challenge but to paint it felt horrible. Almost nothing worked. And you always have to look so close at it and this looks so terrible 😂
Well I share the outcome here. It looks much better from distance 🤣
Oils on canvas 2 1/2 x 3 1/2 in (6 x 9 cm)

That is tiny! Can't even imagine how you did it. It looks great.

Wow that is tiny but it looks good from here! Sounds like it was hard to be so tiny!

Das ist mal richtig klein 👀da bin ich ja mit 18x 24 cm groß . Was ist das für ein Untergrund? Sieht aus wie Tapete ( Glasfaser) 👍🏼🇩🇪

Problem of this format is the visibility of the canvas structure, the scene is very nice and I like the colors.

Beautiful Tom! I attempted a couple of 2”x3” pieces and learned that I should never do that! 😂 Yours is amazing!

Good job

This is adorable Tom! Love the simple and beautiful composition!

Thanks Tomi. It wasn’t easy to find brushes for that😀

Thank you Sandy. Yes it was really tough.

Thanks Dirk. Das I’m Hintergrund ist der Fußboden in meinem Büro 😂

Thanks Jos and you are definitely right. Canvas structure shows up very much in that format

Thanks Brian. I also think this was the first and also the last I sd in that size 😂

Thanks Cold!

Many thanks Nancy. Episode is available on YouTube in case you want to try it. Maybe I try it in normal size one day.
