How I painted a dollhouse !!

This is how I painted a dolls house picture…..

In fact I painted three dolls house paintings in Encaustic wax paint……

I was recently commissioned to paint a dollhouse for a lovely miniature art collector of mine in the Middle East. Ghaneya has challenged me on several occasions to paint for her, I love a challenge and painting for Ghaneya is always pleasure.

Such a fun project …..

This time the commission brief was to paint a two dollhouse paintings to go in her dollhouse, one pink and blue, one pink and white, other than that the style and design was left to me and artistic imagination.

I have seen photos of her own amazing dollhouse, it is beautiful and I decided to base the style of the pink and blue house on her own dollhouse. This was a lot of fun, with my enthusiasm and a slight cross communication and I painted a larger piece and a smaller piece ……

She wasn’t aware that I was styling the painting on her own dollhouse and when I sent her the photos….. her message was delightful.

“it is big 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I wanted it to fit in my dollhouse but I love what you did”

We had a laugh about it ……

Ghaneya sent me a photograph this morning as the paintings all arrived today, hence why I am now writing this post.

She now has all three paintings the large painting (9 x 7 inches) and the miniature blue and pink dollhouse in a gold frame both versions of her house and another piece with a dollhouse and toys which I called “playroom” in a heavy gold frame 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 inches.

So this is how I painted a dollhouse ……

As you will probably be aware of, I paint in Encaustic wax paint using specialist heat tools, I took a few photos in and between painting so you can see how this piece came together.

Thank you

Thank you Ghaneya for challenging me to paint for you, it was great fun. And thank you for allowing me to show your photograph of your wonderful dollhouse above.

If you would like to commission me to paint a dollhouse for your dollhouse please contact me. 

The Shop Window Collection

My latest paintings ……

Window Shopping

These new miniature mixed media pieces of dolls house size art are just 2 1/4 x 1 3/4 inches in size.

The wall and the canopy I have printed onto card, these graphics are created by me too using my computer so it’s all unique, the picture is painted in my encaustic wax paint,

They are fun, but a real challenge…… these were not my first attempts !!!!

The Rose Boutique

The Rose boutique painting works on a similar premise to the above but this time a lot more detail has been added, this is also larger than the Shop Window Collection of paintings and is ACEO size at approximately 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches.

All these miniature paintings are (at the time of posting ) in my Etsy store https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtInWax

I ship worldwide from Southend England.

The Dressing Room Collection

Miniature Dolls House Art

Over the years I have painted many subjects which I’m very honoured to say are in homes, miniature dollhouse and art collections all over the world, at the last count in 18 countries on 4 continents….. yes I do have to pinch myself when I say this !

I have from the start painted collections, as you can see from my exhibit page on the website and this blog where some have been featured, my poppy paintings especially and in recent years my fairy and ballerina pieces in miniature have been very popular.

Mannequin and The Dress Room Miniatures

I have painted dressed mannequin pieces for a while now and then earlier this year I painted the mannequin in the corset in the photo above but this time added the detail of the dressing room, this painting was only just posted online when it sold and I had more enquires. Many of the paintings above are now sold, there are some in my Etsy store and of course I’m happy to paint one as a commission if you would like one.

Most of the paintings shown are 1:12th dollhouse scale size, for example the wedding dress, bottom right is just 2 inches by 1 1/2 inches. The painting next to this is called “The Audrey Dress” and is ACEO size so 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches.

I hope you like this new collection, please leave me a comment below.
