Inspiring Tiny Painting Ideas

[@jullianacosta103]

Mira, I'm a beginner and would love to watch a quick tips and tricks or tutorial of how to draw water. I love your water paintings

[@bluepiggy99]

Same!

[@ChrisPBacon1434]

For the time being if you just make it darker in the corners of the water then add some white of top where the waves would be you can get pretty good wwter

[@quicksilver_jenna]

My mom always loved luna moths. When she passed, a luna moth flew into the funeral home as our family was leaving after the visitation. My sister and I are convinced it was a message to let us know that Mama was happy, and that she loved us. So I definitely appreciate moths and I am always reminded of my mother and her love whenever I see one.

[@MintysSketchbook]

Mira really be out here curing our art block 👌

[@MiraByler]

I'm here for you!

[@lureart3136]

I'm here for you too 😐🙂

[@jamilamulla7099]

Minty's Sketchbook Wow she replied and hearted ur comment luckyyy

Minty's Sketchbook seeing u after a long time....hi

[@fleurelia10]

Mira Byler hiiii! I know I probably sound stupid asking this, since I could just search it up on the internet! lol, but I just wanna ask what is a gesso board?

[@isabelmiranda2799]

When Mira said “white is never enough” I could just feel it ❤️❤️😅

[@ninetailedbren]

Your "tiny" is my "large". lol I love your water and moth paintings!

[@MiraByler]

Thank you!

[@reneedixonart]

Oh my goodness I hope you find your sketchbook!!!! Oh wow I love that you changed the words on the screen from white to black with white outline!! So much easier to read!!! Thank you!!! Send that weather over here to Arizona!!!! I'm hot!!! Oh wait - but no storms that blow stuff around and take out the electricity!!! I love your water paintings!! I think a 6x6 canvas is as small as I would go. I can barely see those tiny watercolors you did last year. But I remember that video!! Oh my gosh you found your sketchbook!! YAY!!! I thought it was gonna be in your husbands car. You have a good day too. 😁

[@layla_beachlife571]

Aww Mira, it is ok that you lost your sketchbook. It happens to people all the time, when they loose something valuable to themselves. Don’t stress!!! Everything is gonna be alright and at least we are all healthy and happy!

[@andreasmith1259]

I'm feeling "water" is Mira's new hair... So relaxing 💕

[@kayleigh872]

Video idea: You could paint a deck of cards, it looks really cute and it's fun to do! I'm currently working on a disney set :D Have a good day xx

[@makena8697]

Is the idea from Moriah Elizabeth❔ She did a video to do when your bored and she painted on cards not to be mean👍🏼☺️

[@savannahpenta897]

Makena i believe it originated from tiktok

[@makena8697]

Savannah Penta ok thanks

[@annnoyez]

I paint already a few years on cards. It exists already a zillion years... also like on puzzles and dominoblocks etc. These all were painted on the minute they exsist...

[@makena8697]

Malika Ann Noyez Ok thanks nice to know👍🏼

[@khiratheaussiedoodle]

I honestly think that the size that you are painting on is normal for me, because I usually paint on that size, I also have done a few paintings on 2 by 2 canvas sizes. Also, you are so good at painting water. I am definitely going to need a lot more years of practice to be as good as you.

Mira: I’ve lost my sketchbook Me after cleaning my hella messed up art closet: I found one...is it yours?

[@Fluffball_crochets]

Haha! I love this 😂🥰

[@redsephone]

Thats too funny

[@diviyavenkatesh0205]

Hi your videos are very inspiring And your voice is very therapeutic. I love your videos.

[@davidromanart]

Waves splashing can be SO hard to paint but you killed it! 🙌🏼🌊🌊

[@MiraByler]

Thanks David! I hope you're doing well!

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

Tiny is a very relative thing.. so true, one of my favorite artist painted on a bean! Yup a teeny tiny lentil!!! So tiny is pretty relative 🤩🤩

[@MiraByler]

A BEAN?! That is so cool!!!

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

Mira Byler yuuup ! Her name is Lorraine Loots, she’s a miniature artist from Cape Town 🐜

[@paranoiarpincess]

My favourite moth is, and had always been, the lunar moth. I used to live up in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada, and we got SO many beautiful moths on our window screens at night that I would go around the house and observe them. I once saw a moth that was all different kinds of browns with these two giant red circles, that I'm sure are supposed to mimick eyes, and the little guy was nearly the size of my face! It was MASSIVE! I had never seen a moth so huge. I tried finding it online, and I haven't seen it anywhere yet. Another moth type, that was a lot less rare, that I really enjoyed watching was this species that looked like a fighter jet! That one is a light brown/yellow colour ^-^. I prefer butterflies just because I am a fan of bright and jewel tone colours, and I have a weakness for the swallowtail shape. That said, I love moths too. They absolutely gave a special place in my heart. About your traveling to Canada, if you ever visit either Toronto, or Haliburton (the later is VERY forested) let me know! I'm happy to be a tour guide, health depending. I will only take you to well populated areas, for safety, I never want people to think I'm anything less than kind and genuine, and I can take you to places that are both touristy and favourites of a local family. Speaking of family, it would be my fiance, my son, and me that would be hosting the tour, as I'm in a wheelchair and I need my fiance to push me, and my son isn't quite old enough to spend a whole day home by himself, yet. Yay family outing fun! If it's Halitown (Haliburton) which I doubt, but at the same time think you would not only prefer to Toronto, but absolutely LOVE, I'd show you around the town proper and give you as much info as I could about the wilderness and things to do there. Honestly I think you would absolutely die from loving living there so much, if you did. It's not only a wonderland of lakes and forests, but it's a quiet tourist town, AND they have an art college there called Sir Sandford Flemming, that offer credited art courses that span from fine arts to things like guitar building! I lived there for years and every video of yours that I watch reminds me so much of Haliburton.

[@MiraByler]

Ahh, it’s so wonderful to meet someone else with such a dear appreciation for Lepidoptera!! Thanks for sharing. Also, your town sounds BEAUTIFUL!! We were planning to go to Montreal, and thankfully we were refunded and given flight credits toward our next trip. The forests in Halitown sound amazing. I’ll definitely keep that it mind!! 💕

[@paranoiarpincess]

@@MiraByler I sure hope you do, I really really think you would love it so much. ♡

[@karine-v]

Aww sorry that your Montreal trip was canceled. I hope when things are better you get to visit. There so much to do here (I live on the north shore of Montreal). I'm sure you'd enjoy the Insectarium.

[@pepperlandian5198]

Love your videos Mira!!

[@shaza8109]

I love more more ideas😄💜💜

[@karleeslone9081]

I love nature paintings! I paint them all the time! ☺💚

[@elizapi314]

I was thoroughly expecting part two of the 1-2in paintings and was a bit surprised at the 6in boards for "tiny" painting ideas. And I loved the flashback to the earlier video I was thinking of!

[@jill22]

Hi Mira, I'm happy you found your sketchbook. Thunderstorms make me nervous too. I began acrylic painting last year. I bought small canvas panels, 5 x 7. Right now I have up to 8 x 10. I do have bigger canvas pads, Watercolor is something I started this year. Lots of crafting and art time this year. I love it all. Oh, I subscribed about two months ago, maybe only one. Time has been so odd this year. Anyway since then I've been binge watching your channel. Thanks for the fun and art tips and ideas.

[@MiraByler]

Your comment made me smile when you said all the art things you love!! I agree, time is so odd this year!!

[@kaytiej8311]

That water is amazing!

[@MovieTrollop]

“Oh know loud weather sounds!” I was so excited lol I love painting and stormy sounds

[@KattLover5412]

My favorite thing is painting my own photos since I also love photography, and that way you know it's unique.

[@Godrickthegriffon]

She really deserves much more subscribers and validation

[@AurorasArtWorld]

I was a nail tech for years so painting on 6x6 is huge for me.. Lol... I love your water paintings!! 💖

[@lisauskenlnseth3953]

I'm actually happy because I voted for tiny paintings

[@cxvd7996]

I voted for tiny paintings so I was super happy to see the title!!

[@mjpete27]

It’s so funny, The first painting(s) I was ever paid for was several I did for my grandfather and his presents for my sister and cousins. They were little tiny watercolors for their doll houses that he was making for them. So he gave me a little 1“ x 2“ wood framed watercolor paper “Canvases” and I painted one abstract two landscapes and a doggy portrait. I earned a whole $10! These days 4 x 4 is tiny for me big is 3‘ x 6‘ I would love to see your big like that. Keep working keep creating and keep being yourself! Have a lovely day.

[@elliott4570]

I am so happy 😃 that I came across your channel! For a loner like me, finding a subject to 🎨 paint is not very easy. You have inspired me so much! It’s my observation that you have been so blessed both with talent and the ability to bring out my talent. I look forward to your success and future video! Love 💕 ya!

[@Rojo731]

Water painting is amazing👏

[@Ella-zd2ei]

Omg she looks just like how I would imagine Charlotte to look like from TID!

[@carriethompson4171]

I started messing around with color using watercolor pencils and watercolor brush pens.... Didn’t seem so overwhelming. I love watercolor for background colors in my journals.

[@Sentariana]

(I'm not an artist and) I use watercolour pencils in such an unusual way! I dip in the pencils (over and over) in water and use them directly on my paper! No brushes involved!

[@tracy-eire]

Hi Mira. Needle-nose pliers in your art station will help open paints. When they're newly opened, put some saran wrap over the tops before you cap them again. That'll do it. :) Waiting for my pins and washi to come in! XD Oh! And most of my paintings are from 4x6 in to 12x12! So that's more medium to me, like you suggested. :)

[@gabbywilliamson76]

The moth is beautiful 😍

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

6 by 6 is small to me. The older 1 inch paintings are tiny. I agree, moths are beautiful. Each piece is great. =) I’m really glad you found your journal. =)

[@jaimejohnesee]

You're still a positive channel. Thank you for showing people how to roll with the punches in life. Very cool of you. 💙💜🍀

[@divamagpayo6377]

You’re always an inspiration! And fun! So glad you found your sketchbook!

[@jessi7105]

The additional mention of the tiny watercolor paintings was the best ! That was the first video I ever saw of yours after watching another video it popped up and I was like that seems cool and here I am a hear later still a huge fan !

[@junebaliros2983]

Mira, thank you so much for making awesome videos like this. You're so inspiring!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@juliananicole2708]

Yay!!! Tiny paintings!!

[@leenb.7936]

I expected the paintings to be at least 4 times smaller lol. I do love the paintings though. So glad he found your sketchbook!! To answer your question, that 6 by 6 I would see as somewhat as a standard but still on a smaller side but tiny imo is way smaller than just small. I just need to grow a lot first before I’m going to grab for my 8 by 10 canvasses than I’ve had since the beginning of my adult art journey. Also love watercolor more instead of acrylics just because the clean-up is a lot less energy-consuming and I tend to go on too long so that’s a problem when using acrylics. So those canvasses will be waiting for a long while though. Never dared to use my oil paints because I can’t get in the vicinity of those chemicals and with all the paint I have, can’t justify spending money on water-soluble yet.

[@SketchWithBex]

I hope you find your sketchbook Mira! Not going to lie I voted for tiny paintings so I'm a happy wee bee! 😆 I can't get enough of your sunshine personality. Stay safe and have a wonderful day! 🥰

[@lifeisbetterwithjesus]

thats one of the best water paintings I have seen yet!

[@maroniamamo3908]

The size you're painting is huge for me since my normal paper size is 9 by 9 cm ... I absolutely love your art and videos

[@larissafarley3388]

Im getting a huge order com your shop soon! I can't wait!!!! Soo excited

[@GeorgeontheRocks]

I paint in acrylics on rocks...so they're pretty small. When I painted in watercolor, the majority of my work was a quarter sheet (sometimes smaller). So tiny, is relative - but the watercolors you showed would qualify. Either way, your work is beautiful.

[@nandanashyam8551]

I saw that wave painting on Instagram and I loved it.... Its amazing...❤❤❤❤❤

[@bcgirl73]

My tiny is ATC sized cards, that’s about as small as I go. But I do love that 6x6 size its one of my favourites for painting galaxies.

[@JayofallTrades]

6x6 is a good size. I bought some 3x2 canvases from the dollar tree and i actually prefer painting smaller paintings because I don't have to come up with such a huge painting and be overwhelmed by it

[@sunshinemishasmommy5352]

Mira,I ❤️ your channel..I recently got the HIMI gouache set because you and alot of other people on KZbin were talking about it and it sounded interesting..I've never tried gouache,and that set seemed like a good place to start..I've gotten alot of inspiration watching your channel and I also wanted to tell you that my cat watches your videos too..she isn't interested in most stuff I watch,but there's something about your videos that she likes because when I'm watching one of your videos,she will jump up on the bed and watch with me..she is mesmerized 😺😸

[@azzuparis]

I hope you’ll find your sketchbook! I loved your painting 💕

[@miroux1111]

I love the water! Beautiful! Will you make prints of that? So awesome!

[@rootsandbonesart]

I'm so glad your sketchbook turned up in the end! I really liked this video idea, thank you for posting it!

[@averywoodman8085]

I was so happy when I got my package from your shop! 😃 You are an awesome person and I love all of your videos! ❤️

[@ClearlyCards]

Your painting is fantastic!❤️

[@sorayabeltran1017]

I love your videos ❤🥺👍

[@ALLJArt]

Loved this video! I would say that 6x6 is a little bigger than my medium. I paint A4 size as BIG and 6x4 as medium, anything smaller than that is wee! I find it interesting how different artists prefer different sizes. Also interesting is that when I am painting digitally, I prefer the biggest screen possible and the ability to zoom in to make it even bigger haha! Now I wanna go paint!

[@iamarijitchakraborty]

hello I subbed to you

[@lisa-sz8jj]

❤️so talented❤️ I wish that I could be this great with paints. YOU ARE AMAZING

[@michelleclifton8868]

Long comment warning: First, this is very tiny to me. I started painting 2d images in college and my professor had us make 3 ft by 4 ft stretcher bars. I learned to love painting in that class and have always painted large because of it. Usually my go to is 16 x 20. So 6x6 is soooo tiny! But I do a lot of sketching and mixed media in a 9 x 12 sketchbook. Second, more Blubbleflies please. Mine was one of the orders you packed. I bought every Blubblefly item plus the create kindness pin. I reaaaallllyyyy need a Blubblefly mug, mouse pad and anything else you can stick a Blubblefly on. Plus, can you do a Blubblefly video? Can you tell I'm obsessed? They are just the happiest little creatures ever in the world! I love them so much! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

[@charleneshaheen3313]

It's like that saying "you can never step in the same river twice." Water shifts and changes so much, especially when it's in something like a river, that it's not the same body of water from one second to the next. And if you take it to a microbial level, water is such a microbe breading ground that even they are constantly shifting, changing, growing... I love water so much, it's a massive cornerstone to life itself, and so important to sustain said life.

[@MiraByler]

Ahhh yes!!! I feel like we could have some amazing conversations about the micro ecosystems in water and nerd out!! Thanks for sharing. 💜🤓

[@fleurelia10]

water! it is such a beauty to be true! in my opinion at least! when you see the nice blue ocean, lake ahhh! I love that feeling!

[@paranoiarpincess]

@@MiraByler I actually know little about microbes, but am so fascinated by it that I wouldn't be able to offer the proper language, but would absolutely geek out about theories and potentials and the like! That sounds like an awesome time to me!!

[@paranoiarpincess]

@@fleurelia10 I used to live on a lake, and I would spend hours just staring into the water. Unfortunately I would get cold after awhile, because when it was warm enough to do this more comfortably, the black/deer/horse flies would get impossible to deal with :S. That said, I could sit still and stare at water for days if it didn't hinder me in any way.

[@fleurelia10]

My favorite size to work with is 5x7 so it's normal for me. Haha Gorgeous water piece and moths are always good! So many gorgeous moths!! Last one makes me wanna visit Cali again, so you captured it well. xD

Dnd is awesome! Glad the sketchbook was found! Fun video, looking forward to the custom cover. Fun video thanks.

[@Sentariana]

What you are describing at 5:20-ish is known within drama circles as a "frame of reference". Each character in a performance has a different frame of reference and the audience has another frame (usually the largest). I had to do a presentation on this at uni and I used a very similar description to you! "If two people look out of the same window at the same time they will see different things because they have different frames of reference." I hope you found this interesting!

[@MiraByler]

Yes, it’s also known as relativity in science! It’s a very fascinating topic. Probably my favorite when I took physics in university! :) thanks for sharing!

[@paranoiarpincess]

That reminds me of the saying "it's always in the last place you look" and how my dad would always say "well yeah, cause if you find it, you stop looking..." lol
