Over the last few days, I went to draw and paint Keraude beach on the harbour of Port D’orange- in St Pierre Quiberon(Brittany/France ) .
The sky, the sea and the light were constantly changing, and the tide was rising and falling. I always start several miniatures at the same time because painting takes time; there are several layers and they have to dry before the next layer can be applied.
Two of them, painted on tea bags, are now finished and framed . The third, on a small round tea bag, is still in progress, but the rain, wind and clouds from Hurricane Erin which is far away from here are preventing me from going there. In the photos you can see the work in progress and the finished result.
Portrait of a burmese kitten
process of creating a watercolour portraitof a burmese kitten on used tea bag. I can paint the portrait of your beloved pet in this technique
The photos of miniatures on tea bags don’t really capture the beauty of the painting because macro photography shows little folds, creases that you can’t see with the naked eye. It’s hard to see and show the delicacy of the lines /p>

Details to order a miniature on paper
You may want me to paint landscape, flowers, boat, objects of your choice or the full-length portrait or the face of one or several people you love, one of your animals etc.
Think carefully about what you want. Those miniaturees are very appreciated presents
The best thing is for you to phone me or to make an appointment if you are on the Quiberon peninsula so that we can discuss about it . The miniatures can be round, oval, square or rectangular according to your choice, the minimum size being 1 inch and the largest 2 inches.
To make the miniature I will need one or two clear, detailed photographs of each “element”. You will be able to choose the size of the paper on which I paint the miniature which is normally between 12 and 15cm
I will soon add pictures showing all these possibilities.
Following the evaluation of the working time, I will establish you an estimate indicating the time of realization, in general from 1 to 3 weeks according to the number of orders because certain periods (before Valentine’s Day, Christmas etc…) are busier.
If you accept the quote, I will ask you for a deposit of 30% of the total,
When it will be done, I’ll send you a photograph of the finished miniature and you will receive it by registered post with insurance and tracking code after having paid the balance. If you click on Order at the top of the page, you will be able to read the terms and conditions of order
