If you have any requests for topics you want to cover for the next class, future classes or tiny paintings, please feel free to leave suggestions below. Thanks everyone!

Manuela

Topic class for me would be glass objects (e.g. vases, bottles, glasses) and reflective surfaces (metal, porcelain), please 🙂

Manuela

And I'd love pumpkins and gourds! Either a spooky live class or a tiny, don't mind 😊

Terri Benyon

Hi Kristin, Thank you again for all the effort you put into our classes and tiny paintings. I'm not sure if anyone else in the group is doing this, but I am painting the Christmas cards I will be sending out this year to family and friends. Is it too early to request a card class? I have watched your tutorial on YouTube. Anything Haloweenie or Fall would be great for the next few tiny paintings. Also on a personal note, can you suggest which of your tutorials would be best to help me practice my water control? I can make fairly decent washes and transitional backgrounds, but tend to struggle when I am mixing and adding too much water. My paper towel is soaked when I get done with a painting after taping my brush. Thank you again.

Kristin Van Leuven

Definitely not too early! I think it's good to have on my radar because we'll need to have that class early enough for card making. So probably one of the November classes would be perfect

Dustin Dawson

I would love anything nature focused. Water in particular, similar to Manuela’s(reflective surfaces) but in natural settings.

Courtney Craig

I'd love anything to do with the fall season... cosy and colorful!

Susan

Fall harvest theme. Scarecrow pumpkins farmers market

Susan Guenther

From the live class Thursday, Sept. 11 . You showed a painting of a bridge that you had done. I’d love to learn how to paint that or any European scenes or old buildings. Thanks!

Pam

Agree with Manuela…glass objects and as we get closer to winter, icicles would be great…also hoping for a rainbow 🙂 Thanks Kristin!

Manuela

Kristin, I didn't mean it to be this month's class necessarily, it could be one of the future ones 🙂 If an Autumn or Halloween themed one works better in October, by all means I'd love that too!! 👻

Melodee Skiles

I would love to see a tiny with books!

i would love to do something like a glass of bourbon and cigar for my husband and sons for christmas. All thungs fall

Dana

How about rolling and crashing waves.

Marian

Love that idea!

Marian

I had two things: one would be how to scale up to bigger paintings - how to plan in order to have enough paint (no hard lines, etc.); also - the seashell we did a while back had a lesson on shifting from warm to cool shading. Could we do another one similar to that? Pumpkin glow?

brandon bensley

For the tinies - I’d love to see another ink and wash - an owl, a fallen branch with attached leaves and acorns, a farm stand… and someone mentioned books & I would second anything that included piles or stacks or shelves of books!

Johanna

Could you talk a little about brush care. The proper way to clean them and what cleaner do you use and how often. Warm or cold water or does temp matter. Why do the tips of some of my brushes look like they have split ends. Don’t know what I am doing that makes that happen. How to care for the tips of your brushes and when do you know you need to get a new brush. Anything else you think would be helpful. 👍🏻

Heather R Hare

Pumpkin patch with lots of pumpkins!

Gabbi Prado

Gering the fall colors/Lightning! And also, this is a tricky one, but adding people to paintings? (I’d usually rather stick to landscapes and flowers, but sometimes you want to have the odd figure here or there. Not a portrait, just a person…)

The Cozy Canvas

I totally second these.... glass, bottles, lights, piles of branches, books/book shelf, owl, farmers market, reflective surfaces, scarecrow, pumpkins, fall colors, definitely love the idea of a pumpkin glow too! What about maybe bats? Or maybe a pumpkin patch at night with a scarecrow, maybe barn to the side & have one light(s) on...to idk incorporate the glowy possibly help with a reflective surface somewhere maybe...? So many great ideas everyone has!

Bear Raeb Barrett

Really would like to talk about painting white… like white dogs.

Jennifer

I would love to learn water rippling over rocks. Flowing down a river.

Cynthia

Would love to learn how to paint a peacock either in a tiny or larger format.

Cynthia

A fire in a fireplace with a cozy chair and a kitty cat curled up

Vicki

For topics…as a beginner…water control! For paintings maybe how to paint pets, people, street scenes w/ people and buildings since we have done a lot of nature tiny paintings. And, yes to the Christmas cards as well!

Vicki

For topics: as a beginner, water control! 😵‍💫 For painting subjects how about pets? People? street scenes? and yes to the Christmas cards! Thanks!!!☺️

Vicki

Oops, sorry for the duplicate comment!

Tara

As Marian mentioned, scaling up would be a helpful topic. Perhaps choosing one of the tiny paintings with varied techniques and painting it on a larger scale to discuss differences in approach from tiny to larger workspace. Also, you have definitely done some instruction on this already, but nothing defeats me quite like en plein air. I do fine when I can take my time and work in a controlled environment, especially from a reference pic, but figuring things out on the move and more quickly with the live subject makes me feel like a total beginner again. Probably because I am and just need to practice that skill more. 😁 But, if you have a series of tips, I’d be excited to learn them!

Catherine R

white on white would be fun! Maybe a white pitcher on a white background. I am doing that project in pastel and it's a wonderful challenge. Using lots of colors to give the illusion of white on white!

Annette Vandenberg

I love the tiny paintings. I really just started painting a couple months ago. I hope I will still have access to them for quite a while even though I know you started this at the beginning on 2025.?
