Just sharing one of my earliest paintings. It’s an ATC (artist trading card) painting I did back in 2006. I sold it on eBay and don’t remember what it sold for. I used acrylic paint and colored pencils.
Artist trading cards are 2.5″ x 3.5″. They are a fun and inexpensive way to collect art.

I love painting cards for various holidays and birthdays. I paint in watercolor after abandoning acrylics. Your work is wonderful.

I’m actually trying to figure out a couple of gift paintings for specific people right now. What do you like about watercolor? I haven’t tried it yet. Learning pastels at the moment 🙂

For starters, I realized I painted in acrylics for years and really wasn’t very good. 😀 I knew I just needed to find my niche. I can’t paint in oils due to my asthma. Many people had tried to scare me away from watercolor, saying it was too challenging. I love watching the color flow with the movement of the water. There are details in this medium not possible in the others. Ultimately I encourage you to find the one that you are most passionate about and your gift will follow.

I am glad you found your niche and thank-you for sharing. I thought I had found my niche in acrylics, color and whimsy, which I still like, but find I’m being pulled towards impressionism. I like pastels because you can just pull them out and get to it (simple) – and they blend easily with vibrant colors. I sure am stumbling around with these two though. Every time I try, I’m not happy with the results, but will keep trying. Someday I want to try watercolor!
