Artist Trading Cards

I have just finished making two ATC cards for a group project with the San Diego District Chapter of the Colored Pencil Society. It’s the first time I have attempted to do such miniature artworks (2.5″ x 3.5″) and I have to say… it’s been a challenge. I like to work big so that the finest line in the painting is at least twice the size of the pencil point. In these two examples the point of the pencil felt too thick for the size of the projects.

    Thank you, Juliet, and thank you, Hazen. I appreciate your comments.

  4. I recently tried doing an ATC and I also found it difficult to switch to such a tiny format. I’ll be curious to see if you do any more of them.
