From the garden Didn’t have far to look and it is a matchbox!

# data[].attributes.body
I drew out some 6cm by 6cm squares on Monday and did some portraits - surprisingly difficult! My matchbox is 4cm x 3cm and I want to try fitting portraits inside so I'm going to have to work hard!!!

Inspired by an exhibition of Rembrandt's small etchings and engravings I coincidently saw in Geneva this weekend I had a go with4cmx5cm almost matchbox size in my sketcbook but need to go smaller with a rotring or something!! Actually as I'm travelling small is good.

Picked up some small nature treasures on my walk home from the bus stop this morning.

I wanted to jump in and paint before these beauties shriveled up. Wanted to capture the color.

Items collected from the footpaths in nearby suburb, Hamilton. A very suburban selection, I would say.

My box for Small Things. Made beautiful by collaging the surface with used palette paper.

Items: Poinsettia flower; no idea?? Children’s toy, obviously. Can anyone help?, Ixora flowers; artificial sweetener pack; feather; not sure - perhaps seaweed or packing, it’s been used in a fire; flower from palm tree; dried flower from palm tree.

Small drawings of small things. Very enjoyable making a little box and collecting and drawing with fine liner.

A selection of small things from inside and out. The little sketch book is just under the size of a match box and I'm going to try and draw these things in it. Will be difficult as it won't lie very flat but I'll try.

Small things collected on my beach walk and then painted in gouache.

Weekend in Barcelona spent picking random things off of the ground!

Alongside collecting small things in Barcelona, I made a tiny sketch book and drew my weekend rather than taking photographs.

Something simple

Collected on Prince Edward Island beaches and an olive grove in Italy, and kept in a little tray on my bureau. Drawn life size on a 5 x 8 inch page.

Thoroughly enjoying my small things exercise and decorating and filling my matchbox. Sat out in the garden on a perfect autumn day quietly contemplating nature’s tiny wonders.

The ‘Cheerios’ box dates from childhood in the 60s and I used it in the dolls’ house my Dad made for me. May have come from a cereal box. The other tiny toys were found more recently, on a beach, and on a sidewalk.

I took a tiny raisin box on a walk with my dog and found a tiny pine cone and one of the first crocuses.

Found on a Toronto sidewalk, perfect for drawing small things. I started with small flowers; this is a dried carnation my daughter saved.

Yesterday, I used the tiny sketchbook for Drawing is Free, and found drawing faces on a small scale is not easy!

# data[].attributes.body
How small is small? I discovered the seedpod and figure in a cupboard. They belonged to my partners late partner. I wonder where they came from - love watching the figure nestling inside in different positions. Hard to capture....

Postage Chloe Making tiny the next big thing!

I used cereal packets and a chunky sketch it to make a tiny Chloe at the end of the workshop. 8 mins felt AGES so I enhanced with a fancy frame and white and red highlights. Proving we are irrational when we think we need to set aside an afternoon to draw!

# data[].attributes.body
My matchbox decoration is inspired by local 'tela de llengua' patterns, to reflect where the 'small things' are found and from (mostly our overgrown garden). Couldn't make either workshop, but looking forward to catching up with the recording!

# data[].attributes.body
Decided to draw each one using a continuous line. Got stuck in the detail a bit, so perhaps not as loose as I'd have liked.

# data[].attributes.body
Each small thing recorded in a little double-sided concertina book (covers pending) that fits inside the matchbox as a record of the little treasures that were kept in there.

# data[].attributes.body
I've usually kept away from trying to draw people, and especially those closest to me. But this was a lovely push to have a go, and while my eldest was sat still for 20 minutes, playing a game while waiting, I tried to capture him. It took several attempts, but on the third one, I managed it, more or less. His squinting to see in the bright sun, the freckles that dapple his nose and cheeks, the curve of his nose. It was a wonderful exercise, thank you.

I have loved this month's booklet; the intense looking and slowness. Each drawing felt like a small meditation.

I started playing around with rotation and tracing paper thinking I would make a small film with a series of cross dissolves - as yet unmade!

I must have left early on this workshop because I am sure I didnt do this tiny portrait exercise. Great to do after the bigger work! I will decorate the little container later !

worked and probably overworked but I came back to this workshop to do again this three step process on the same drawing … very helpful for getting deeper into the subject
