Want a way to beat that creative block and swap screen time for paintbrush time? The answer is to paint tiny! Tonight, we are painting a charming, tiny whimsical cottage—the perfect proof that you don't need to paint on a massive scale to create something beautiful and worthwhile. Far from it! A daily tiny painting practice is the single most effective way to create a regular art habit and at the same time bring the joy back into your studio life. So let’s grab our brushes and paint this little house. And do stick around until the end to find out how you can jump straight into my popular 28-day tiny painting challenge!

➡️ *About my brushes*
I buy my favorite brushes from Drawell. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
