Art inspiration can come from mundane moments and artists can create unique art on any given canvas, and size is never a limit. What about vintage Altoid tins? Say no more! Using small wood panels and a compact palette of paint, Remington Robinson paints mini Plein air paintings that could fit in your pocket.
We often perceive giant, impressive, time-consuming artwork as better, but American miniaturist Brooke Rothshank shrinks our standards to a minimum while remaining incredibly intricate and immaculate. The Indiana-based artist paints tiny paintings of everyday things that surround her. It has become a precious diary of intimate moments from Rothshank‘s life that over 78k followers on Instagram can love and appreciate.
