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.

Small things under my Mum's tree. Looking forward to filling more matchboxes with my daughter!

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

rogerssarahmaria — 2024-03-07 20:03:25 UTC

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

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.

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.

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.

Thought i had two empty tiny baby snail shells then in the warm they came alive !

The encapsulation of the small things, giving them a little exhibition space and in relation to each other was so touching .

rosemont57 — 2024-03-19 16:46:13 UTC

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

elkeheckel — 2024-03-20 10:02:06 UTC

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....

A miniature of lovely Chloe near a very small feather. What a marvellous workshop this morning!

schwartzlynn — 2024-03-21 20:19:32 UTC

Thursday AM workshop which I had to rush out of because I mis scheduled my morning. Still very interesting & enjoyable!

Postage Chloe Making tiny the next big thing!

rlmpierce — 2024-03-22 07:52:09 UTC

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!

Matchbox & 'small things'

helen926 — 2024-03-22 10:35:02 UTC

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!

Small things found...

helen926 — 2024-03-22 10:37:40 UTC

...and drawn...

helen926 — 2024-03-22 10:39:06 UTC

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.

...and painted.

helen926 — 2024-03-22 10:44:35 UTC

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.

Small gestures

helen926 — 2024-03-22 10:55:59 UTC

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.

lizziyates — 2024-03-24 21:50:04 UTC

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!

A delightful encounter with ‘small things’ in March and inspired to illustrate a tiny hand made gifted book by Belinda Smith. Thanks for the inspiration Chloe - a lovely little project commenced.

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
