big or small painting; it works its magic and binds you in a spell
anyway. Today, let’s have a look at some really pretty Detailed Miniature Painting Ideas.

Detailed Miniature Painting Ideas
For those who are confused about what exactly miniature paintings are, let me put your mind to rest. Miniature paintings are the same exquisite pieces of arts but just a bit tiny in size. Yeah, not exactly the size of your typical canvases but actually the canvas of the size of your palm and maybe even smaller than that. Like I said, tiny! One would think it’d be so easy to create such little paintings but… Absolutely not! You’ve gotta take care of every minute details of the painting that is already too minute in size. Now, that is something huge.

Let’s start with the few things that you’d need to do before you start working on your miniature painting. Stock up on brushes that have fine point because that’s the only way you’d be able to paint fine details. And here you’ll get more ideas about brush strokes. Remember I talked about magnifying glass? Yeah, get one too, because it might come in handy. Quality paints are a must. For miniature paintings, you’d get better results if you use paints such as acrylic, egg tempera, oil or watercolour. You’re already working on a small size painting and you wouldn’t some dripping paint to ruin that. Quality painting materials can be easily picked from the miniature art supply shops.

Smooth surfaces are the best option when it comes to miniature paintings. You might know ivorine or polymin because those are some of the most popular choices of painters. Apart from these two, you can even go for vellum, porcelain as well as cardboard and wood if you’d like. It all depends on you but whatever you choose, it must be smooth.

Paintings are all about colours and details. So, once you’ve stocked up on fine brushes and smooth surfaces and quality paints, your next challenge will be to play with colours on your mini canvas. I’ll suggest keeping a record or chart of colours. For instance, if you’re going for a portrait, having a skin tone chart with you will be immensely helpful. Other than that having a colour palette record would also help you in future projects. It’d give you a clear idea of which shades you should go for.

What else did I miss? Hmm? Oh! The most important thing! What are you gonna paint? Maybe something earthy like this? Now, that’s a dollar question. The thing with miniature paintings is that not just are you painting a small object in a tiny canvas but you’re painting a miniature version of something large and trying to fix it in a size of about say, 2.5×3.5 or 3×4. So, yeah, so not easy! It’s quite a challenge to scale things down but that’s the magic of miniature paintings. Just like making look these miniatures into mega ones.

You can do one thing to solve this issue. Click a picture and put that computer to use and scale things down and tada! You have a mini picture in your hands to make a miniature painting. That’s smooth, isn’t it? Now, start working on it. And it might not be perfect in just one try because let’s admit it, creating miniatures paintings is just as difficult as painting on a life-size canvas. Light strokes, fine details, that magnifying glass in a hand and some patience. That’s all the ingredients you need to get perfect in it.
