ANIMAL PAINTINGS

499-442435427-2.pdfVOLUME III
ANIMAL PAINTINGS
The Siegrists render nearly all their miniature paintings to the exacting standards of formal miniature art societies: small size, reduced scale and refined technique. Their exquisite paintings will not disappoint under close inspection, even through a magnifying glass! Considered gems of fine art for enhancing existing collections or starting new ones, the Siegrists’ miniature paintings are fun to collect and share. All paintings featured in the artwork section of this book have been rendered in opaque watercolor and have been reproduced at actual size which is noted in inches.
WHY SO TINY?
