Yesterday I painted a miniature portrait using acrylics. It was on a 4×4 inch stretch canvas.
Here is how I painted it:
What I thought was most delightful about the process was that I was able to get my iPhone camera to identify the very rough images as two people.
When we paint, we are never going for exact realism. What we do want is to get a viable, recognizable representation. That is why, even though this image is far from perfect, I am satisfied.
The camera saw two people!
