Pocket paintings are one of the easiest and quickest ways to boost creativity. 

These little gems only take about 10-20 minutes to complete. This makes them great projects when you're short on time. They're also great for warm-ups to help get the right side of your brain, the creative side, activated and ready for larger paintings.

Best of all, you have a sweet little painting you can keep, give as a gift, use in other crafts. or scrapbooking. Win-win all around. 

I did this painting on a piece of 300 lb cold-pressed watercolor paper 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches. 

You can use any colors you like for this painting. Really get creative and make it your own.

My suggested colors are:

• Cobalt blue
• Green Gold
• Olive Green
• Pyrrelene Green
• Cadmium Yellow
• Transparent Orange
• Raw Sienna 
• Burnt Sienna
• Lamp Black or Sepia
• Scarlet lake or Cadmium Red
• Maroon

I hope you try this little painting. If you do, I would love to see it!
