Why These Tiny Paintings Matter - ACEO and ATC Cards

Have you ever felt like your paintings need to be bigger or more “finished” to really matter? In this video, I’m sharing the difference between ACEOs (Art Cards, Editions and Originals) and ATCs (Artist Trading Cards), and why these tiny 2.5 x 3.5 inch artworks can actually help you loosen up, paint more freely, and enjoy the process again. I’ll also share a recent seascape ACEO I created, why working small has been so helpful in my own practice, and how you can start using this format in your own art. 🎨 Want to go deeper?
