There is an art challenge called #100tinytreasures, where the participating artist uses tiny art papers to paint any topic/ theme of their choice. We have the freedom to use any small sizes of measurements, or even bigger papers if we choose to.

My card papers are roughly 3 inch by 2 inch.

I choose portraits of authors for my series of #100tinytreasures. However, I may change my topic if I run out of authors to draw for the books I’ve read.

This will run from Mar 20, 2026 to Mar 20, 2027. That works out to be 100 divided by 52, which is roughly 2 tiny treasures paintings per week.

The artist who invented this prompt is Leslie Stroz and she said to post on Instagram the #100tinytreasures.
