For years I have struggled with my art work where people were in the picture, after watching a documentary on Miniature Art work I was stunned as it felt so right, I come from a long line of artists of painting/drawing and music now at the age of almost 60 years old I know why I have struggled with portrait paintings I can paint nature of flowers and animals with great detail but when it comes to people I just can not paint them. I have only used the smallest brushes in all my artwork I have never been able to paint with any brush bigger than a round 3. After watching this video and the other documentaries on this style of painting I went and tried again and this time it worked I have a picture that I am pleased with. My Aunt paints wonderful water colours of the country and sea views where as I use a heavier grade paint and it works with this style of painting. I have a new lease on my artwork all because I was trying so hard to conform with my Aunt and my Great, Great Uncles style of painting. I have finally found my style which falls between theirs and this style of painting.
Hello, thanks for your questions. Actually for Persian painting we need to use a paper without any texture. So, it can be traditional handmade paper which is call in Persian: Ahar Mohreh (آهار مهره) or any other anti-bacteria papers. Usually Gouache is a part of Miniature materials but it depends on the title, style and content of the painting. In this painting i used Gold 24 K , Watercolor and traditional Isfahan ink.

wonderful content thank you!
Are you using hot press paper? Do you use any gauche when painting the skin?
Is this painting primarily done in watercolour or gauche ?
