- This video is for everyone who has ever asked me how I paint tiny paintings. I will walk you through all of my supplies, different (portable) ways to carry them, and various palettes and setups. Next, we will create a tiny painting from start to finish: selecting a subject, choosing a good composition, using different measuring techniques for perspective, and sketching, inking, and painting the tiny painting (including color mixing). By the end of this video you should have everything you need to know to create your own tiny painting! Timestamps are listed below if you'd like to skip around or revisit certain sections of the video.
Happy Painting!

Tip for cheap but really good paper: Hahnemuhle has small pads of their agave and bamboo paper that are 8x10.5cm that they sell basically at a loss (less than €4 per pad though I've seen them sold for €2,95 if you're lucky). They do so in the hope that you like the paper and come back for the big pads. The agave is by far my favorite paper I've ever tried and I've tried a LOT of medium to high end artist grade paper. It's 70% agave and 30% cotton and though it's cold pressed, it's a much more smooth and subtle texture than others meaning you can get much more detail in there. This is by far the cheapest way to get high quality paper that I've found. As far as the bamboo version goes, I got it a while back to see if I would like it as much as my beloved agave paper but I seem to have lost it in the meantime so I'll have to get back on that one.
Edit: also fun is that you can tape off a square and paint in that and then cut off a little strip of the margin on the bottom and you'll have the proportions of a Polaroid picture. Not everybody's thing but I thought it was fun for a travel diary series of painting I did.
This is exactly the video I needed at the moment I needed it. Thank you so much for sharing. It’s wonderful.
I love synchronicity! 😊
I always feel like I'm some kind of a cheater while taking a photo of view and cropping it later for easier understanding of proportions 😅 Thank you for showing that that's okay to do so!
Thank you for great drawing tips ❤️
It's DEFINITELY okay to do that! All of the Masters had similar tricks they used to learn and understand composition and proportions. It's so helpful to see the scene from a 3D world in a "frame" to assist in putting it onto paper. :)
Just wow. What a lovely piece of art, and what an amazing lesson! I can’t wait to try this! ❤
Wonderful to see the entire process of tiny painting!! Thank you Leslie.
You’re so welcome! 😊
This truly is a masterclass! Thank you so much for sharing your process and so many valuable tips!
Lovely. Knitting needle or skewer, great tip!
Super useful! 😊
This has inspired me to try “tiny” painting/sketching. Thanks so much!❤
What a wonderful and comprehensive master class. Thank you!
My pleasure! 😊
Oh! Leslie! This was so wonderful to follow all the steps, details, and tips. I so enjoyed this video. LOVELY!! I got all my supplies from watching your shorts. NOW, with this video I feel more confident to truly start sketching & painting. Thank you so much! You are so giving and loving!
I’m so pleased! I thought it would interest all of the people who have written with questions. I hope you learned a few new things. 😊
Thank you so much for this wonderful Master class! Your explanations & demos were so clear & precise that I am excited to try tiny painting outside. Now I know what to use the skewers that I ve had for-not for cooking but painting
I’m happy it helped! 😊
I learned a lot of tips from your video this is amazing.Thank you!
You’re welcome! 😊
That was surely a Master Course! TY
Was great fun to watch...and very helpful to, thank you! And what a lovely place you have to relax over there 😊🎉
It’s a lovely haven. 😊
THANK YOU 💜for sharing the details of tiny painting.
I always enjoyed watching your short videos of wonderful paintings of landscapes and beautiful scenery. I always thought , how I can learn this cute tiny painting techniques and your Masterclass video has given all the relevant information necessary to start learning new hobby.❤
I’m so glad! 😊
very helpful and enjoyable to watch the shole painting. I have doing tiny paintings since seeing your videos. They are perfect for my hikes.
Terrific! I love the portability of them too. 😊
So nice to see your world and that lovely studio in the overgrowth. (Yay to no mow May - it looks gorgeous!) So psyched to see both Sendaks together and your thoughts on them - thank you always for sharing! Love your final painting and your process:) As ever, so calming...
No-mow May is the best! It's now extended a bit into no-mow June in the secret garden! The bees are sooo happy. I LOVE both of my Sendaks sooo much. Thank you for making such a beautiful, functional and versatile produce for us artists.
Love the video. Really in-depth on how you do tiny paintings. So many helpful tips and it really helped watching your process and how you make decisions. You gave a lot of ideas and I really appreciate the time it took to make this video. Wonderful video. Many thanks!!!
Thanks so much, Jo! I tried to give some useful tips without making it too long. Your feedback was a big help. 😊
I loved the tips and the demo!! Thank you!
this is truly amazing and very generous!
Yeah! I have been waiting for this!
Excellent, informative video. Thank you, Leslie.
I’m glad it was helpful. 😊
I really like your comment about looking around the scene for the same, unique color to "give the painting more harmony," at the 41:27 mark. I tend to mix and remix without tying things together, so this will be my focus in my next project. This whole video is chock-full of great tips -- and not just for "tiny" painting! Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Yes, that’s such a helpful thing to do. “Spreading the love.” 😊
I wanted to let you know how much I've been enjoying your videos ... Especially the last one by the shore. Thank you.
Thank you so much! 😊
Just found your channel Leslie. Thank you so much for all the tips and reviews on different art supplies!❤
This is such a detailed explanation with an actual demonstration. Watching you draw and paint with your soothing voice in the background is so calming. Thank you for sharing all your tips and beautiful tiny paintings. Your videos are a joy to watch!
I'm so glad it's been helpful. Thank you for your kind comments! :)
Very educational...thank you for sharing your talent!
You’re so welcome! 😊
Woahhh.. wow.. just wow. 🤩💖✨✨✨ That was nice to know the process. Lovely.
I’m glad it was helpful! 😊
This was lovely to watch whilst I was painting myself. Nice to have what I know reaffirmed and wonderful to watch someone paint in (mostly) real time out of doors - I love painting Plein air but it's not so easy to be able to watch someone else paint that way online. Most you tube artists are studio based when painting. Lovely work, thanks for sharing
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I love to watch plein air painters too. 😊
This was fantastic! I usually don't have the patience for long videos, but your videos are filled with information so I split up my watch time and go through all of it slowly. I really liked the tips with using a brown fineliner over black (need to head to an art store RIGHT NOW!) and the measurements using a knitting needle with one's arm stretched out. The vanishing point explanation here was easier for me to understand.
I'm struggling the most with mixing colours and layering. Would love it if you could make a video on how you pick colours and show which ones are mixed for different subjects (building, foliage).
Thank you! I hesitated about making such a long video, but really wanted to create a comprehensive guide to answer many of the questions I get from people. I’m glad you took the time to watch it all. 😊
Thank you for showing me your entire process of a tiny painting. Very interesting. Looks beautiful.
My pleasure 😊
Helpful and interesting, thank you for sharing with us!
Sigh! This was such a pleasure to watch! Thank you Leslie, please know that all the effort you've put into this is much much appreciated. I'm a great fan of your work. It's inspired me to paint more, and I admire all your work. Please keep putting up content. I eagerly wait for it every sunday
Thank you so much! I’m happy to hear I’ve inspired you to paint more. Perfect season for it!! 😊
This is amazing. So much beauty and detail in such a tiny space. Thank you
You’re so welcome! 😊
Very informative! Thanks for sharing❤
You’re welcome! ☺️
Excellent - learned a lot will watch this more times & apply- thank you for sharing 🙏
That’s great! 😊
Lovely lovely video. I learned so much. Sounds like your neighbors were having a fun day, too😊
Thanks! Yes, that’s the football field not too far away. Must have been an exciting match! 😅
Thank you! For your master class 😊
You’re welcome! 🤗
Like before watching ❤❤❤❤❤
Loved it! Thank you!
Your welcome! 🤗
Very interesting. Thank you.
Thank you so much ❤️
I love your videos! I'm a beginner and just discovered your channel. Do you have a video where your explain how to use the aquabrush? Do you have to press to get the water to the bristles? How to clean them? Might be a very basic question but I want to make sure I use them correctly ❤

Woowww
Can't wait to try tiny painting...this will get me over the overwhelm of what to take and how to carry everything...love the simple approach. Having a hard time locating the tiny palette and sketchbook online...found on Instagram but can't figure out how to purchase? any tips?
They have a worldwide shop linked on their Instagram. It’s linked in their bio. 😊
@@LeslieStroz I finally called the Worldwide Store (Inspire Uplift) because I could never get a product to display for sale on their site. They said they no longer have the GoDraw products on their site. There is a similar one on Amazon but it is made in China so I figure it is a cheaper knock-off.
This was so helpful!!! Would a clear ruler work in place of the knitting needle? I have had so much trouble "seeing" in perspective, like in the sides of the roof, I have trouble seeing if it the angles are angling down or up. But you presentation was so helpful. Also, have you found a fountain pen that is fine enough to replace the Uni pen?
I’m sure a clear ruler would work. I haven’t found an ideal fountain pen replacement with a fine enough nib for tiny painting. Still searching! 😊
I just got a mini pallet and need help choosing ten watercolors for plein air painting .. what do you suggest? 🤔
I’d start with the 8 I mention here and maybe explore some other Earth colours like Van Dyck brown, raw umber or yellow ochre. Have fun! 😊
May i ask whether the fluid pen for marking is specially made for watercolor painting or just a regular marker? Thank you for great tips
The white one? It’s a type of tempera paint. None of the white pens are specifically made for watercolour. If you want to be more purist it’s best to either preserve the white of the paper by using the masking fluid or use white gouache. 😊
Thank you. As I saw you erase it with pencils eraser, and I didn’t know any kinds of erasable marker before.
