Cutting the Mini Formats 1: Welcome back. Before we start with the cutting off the many paintings for months I want to share with you the story behind in these many paintings. Why? I started painting these little cute many paintings. We went in Japan working through the cherry blossoms. It is a coda Trees and a photographer came close to us and asked if he could take a photo from us near the tree and we accept. Then we came back home and I bought this picture in a mini easily on my desk and I was looking at it every every day. Then one day I was thinking, Oh, what could I paint today? And then I saw this picture and I thought, Why not? I would paint a meaning a meaning for my painting and thus is study behind this mini paint . Discuss. We are working with three difference. Many paintings for much the small, the medium and the biggest size. So you can choose Which ever do you like best? Before we start with, the many paintings were scented with this more one. I want to Splain you this sizing The season is very easy. The long off the mini paint is a 0.5 centimeters.

Okay, The the former to cut it into do it easy for you. I just got a long line and then I took my pre cut and many pains and I just place it on the on the paper and then I mark this size is normally from one paper from one normal a four paper.
