These paintings by Tracy Hall range in size from 1.75″ x 2.25″ up to 2″ x 3″ and are painted in miniature. A penny is shown to give an idea of scale.
The National Gallery describes a miniaturist as “an artist who works in great detail on a very small scale” – which sums it up perfectly!
I hope you enjoy the video.

I think these are really great but they aren’t very practical. Obviously, you enjoy doing it, but they are hard to appreciate without a magnifying glass.

Thank you. They …
Thank you. They take anywhere from a full day to over a week (or more). Because the techniques used to paint a miniature are very fine (painstaking even) they usually take just as long as a larger work. I hope that helps.
