Painting ACEO's

Still painting ACEO's -  Never heard of them?  Well it stands for

Art Cards Editions and Originals

Art Trading Cards basically measuring 2½" x 3½"












Inspired by photographs in Paint My Photo to
whom I have thanked the relevant photographers



....and another William one, I might do a series of these ...

very nice, hard to think they are so small.

These are all so fun! I like the landscapes and the little doggie. I like doing the ACEO''s too. I use to do a lot of exchanges with mine. Have a great weekend.

Your ATCs are giving me Spring fever as there's still a lot of snow on the ground.

I recognise the first one! The tide's out I wasn't sure what an ACEO was, here I have seen them called ACTs.

Actually, I didn't think I could paint so small, but it's been surprisingly fun. They would make good practice pieces for larger work too.

ann @ studiohyde said...

I've heard of exchanges with them. I'll probably make ones for selling eventually though, perhaps on eBay.

ann @ studiohyde said...

Good, I'm glad CJ, just can't imagine having snow for so long as you have.

ann @ studiohyde said...

Well, I guess they are all ATC's (Art Trading Cards) which are traded and swapped, but a few years ago artists started to sell them and so are known as ACEO's (Art Cards Editions and Originals).

Addictive.... I knew it! ;) Love the little pup!

ann @ studiohyde said...

Yes, completely addictive. A good way to work out a larger painting first too ;)

I've never tried ACEO's - might be fun to try. Love that one of William.

WOW! That's tiny! I'm impressed! :D

ann @ studiohyde said...

I didn't try them until recently Sandy, and they've proved to be fun. Do give them a go.

ann @ studiohyde said...

I honestly didn't think I could paint that small, but surprised myself :-)

Jane said...

Lovely little cards !

ann @ studiohyde said...

Thanks Jane :-)

sandy said...

I will trim a few index cards to that size to give it a try - it just seems so little - not sure I can see what I"m doing, lol

ann @ studiohyde said...

Sandy, you might find index cards warp when you add watercolour to them, although they will be perfect for practicing with. I use 140lb watercolour paper, so that not only holds the water but also is a good quality card.

Hi, Ann, I love doggies most! Cheers, Sadami

ann @ studiohyde said...

Thanks Sadami, I think most of us do, lol :-)
