Miniature Art
Oct 28 2007, 3:51 AM EDT
I was very excited to be accepted as an Exhibiting Member of the Australian Society of Miniature Art (NSW) in April of the year (2007). Prior to being accepted, I had purchased the limited edition book "Miniature Art in Australia - Past and Present" which gave me an idea of the high standard required. To me, it is fascinating to see what other artists can achieve in such small areas and I read that book from cover to cover so many times. My first exhibition was the National Awards Exhibition in July, 2007 and I don't think anyone was more surprised than I was, when one of my watercolours won Best Watercolour and Best In Show. For me, I'm sure, it was beginners luck as there were so many beautiful pieces of artwork on show. I would love to see a greater public awareness of just how much work goes into a miniature painting and how amazing this art form really is. And to any artists out there who share a passion for miniature art but lack a little confidence in their own ability, I say believe in yourself and give it a go because you just never know where it might lead!

Karen, Congratulations, what an inspiring story!. I agree, just because our work is small, doesn't mean it was finished in a snap. Often I find the attention to detail is very time consuming, but oh so rewarding!Barbara 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Hi Karen,I'm not a member of ASMA yet but am working towards it :) Thanks for mentioning the Aust Mini book. I didn't know it existed but I have now managed to get a copy. It is indeed inspiring, and great to see some Aussie work. Living in country NSW makes it very hard to get to exhibitions. cheers, Lee Do you find this valuable? |

Dear Lee,I wish you all the best in your goal for becoming a member of ASMA NSW. As I get emails forwarded from the ASMA NSW website, I noticed that you had asked Lex for this book and I hope you do get a lot out of it. Another book that I found really interesting, which I think is no longer in print, but is still available from Amazons is "The Techniques of Painting Miniatures" by Sue Burton. This book covers some of the more traditional techniques and the work in there is really beautiful. I love both the traditional and some of the more contemporary miniature art. I look forward to seeing some of your work and would be interested to know what mediums you like to work with. We live on the outskirts of Sydney and so I haven't managed to get to very many exhibitons either, but find the net a fabulous resource to learn from, to gain inspiration and to admire what other artists are doing. Warm wishes, and happy painting Karen Do you find this valuable? |
