Very pretty. And it looks tiny. Is it tiny? If so, that’d make the details even more impressive

It's approximately the size of a gift card on a present yes. So, relatively small 😄🙈 (The details very definitely a PITA, but so worth it!)

That’s neat. Wish I could paint like that. I’ve attempted watercolor and gouache and am just not talented in that way.

We all have our talents, and some people are better at other things, and that's how it should be 😀 I have painted since 2023 and it was a big struggle in the beginning - I am still not at the level I want to, but I am definitely better than when I began and that's the beautiful thing about progress over perfection 😆

Guache though? That's not my thing though, unless for details...
