Portrait miniature shown beside a quarter for scale, along with some of my favorite brushes (Silver Ultra Mini 20/0 liner brush and Reaper Pro 40/0 sable brush) and Winsor & Newton Designers Gouache paints.
My ongoing obsession with lockets reached new heights with the purchase of Reaper Pro Paint 30/0 and 40/0 sable brushes, along with a minuscule brush by The Army Painter (whose size is appropriately labeled only as "Insane Detail"). While nothing can ever replace my favorite Silver Ultra Mini 20/0 liner brushes, I really loved using the teenier brushes! I finished this portrait of my handsome sweetheart just in time to wear it to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's In Miniature exhibition, on view from August 29th through December 31st in their 624 gallery.
