Tiny brushes and copper coins are the ‘party’ for Bryanna Marie. “I started painting miniatures a few years ago as a daily exercise, primarily with the goal to paint more often and hone my skills for finer detail in smaller compositions,” artists shares. At first, she thought it might get tedious but after her first mini landscape everything changed; “I was already fascinated by the amount of detail I was able to achieve on such a small surface and immediately wanted to paint another.” Now to Marie, this exercise is no more a boring job, but the favorite part of the day! Each coin painting is done as a traditional oil painting that takes approximately 10 hours of her time. Since it takes time for layers to dry off one painting is postponed to a couple of days. The way Marie makes this work best is by painting more than one coin at once, therefore one finished mini-masterpiece could take weeks to be completely finished.
