Looking at Artist Trading Cards

THE Smallest canvas size I am willing to work on (2.5in X3.5in), of course just as those words slipped from my mouth, options appear in my head as to how to apply what I am learning (Dexterous Daring Drawing Measured in Millimeters Multi-Media),into my clay carving and glazing, and my oils will have the confidence to go the extra fore-ground worth of detail, Plus on top of that I am I am experimenting with pastels, water color, acrylics, and pen and Ink (plan on working with colored Inks and Crow quill in the near future) in a Themed assignment atmosphere where everybody shares there trading cards either digitally or in swap trades or personal one on one trades. I can't wait to start large scale Watercolor with Pen and Ink and Pastels but I have more to learn before than. Oh and enlarging the cards is really the best part really, scanning those little cards that took you and hour each to finish (if not more, if you count the pondering and kicking yourself midway threw the process then having to take a break that ends sometime the next day when you get the other 45minutes to finish it because, well you have three toddlers and they don't play well with pastels)and being able to see every blemish and especially the things you did right and you say "DAMN THATS SMALL".
