My question is - are these really this small? Because what if an experiment develops into something genius?? At this size it couldn't be printed at any decent quality, not submitted to a competition, not be a book cover, etc...And by the time you find you love it it's too late.

After reading your comment, I added details to some of the swatches. Don't know if those details improve Grandma's Scrapbag or not. I'm attaching version #2 (below), thinking it might be better to just begin a new painting.

In reply to your question about the size of these paintings. Before working on a painting, you can change the size as well as the number of pixels per inch. I have been, however, using ArtRage presets (because I have yet to read the users manual) and, while working with the canvas onscreen, I usually keep the magnification such that the painting area is about 8 x 6 inches . . . unless I decide to zoom in or out, of course.

Thank you for commenting, Sharon. I appreciate it.
