Work Station

[meistergedanken]

Actually, it's the room I use as a studio. The Great Mound of Debris I must navigate to get to my chair is behind the camera. Everything is configured to facilitate painting, though not comfort. The oak chair from the dining room, for example, is as hard as granite. But one must expect to suffer a bit for one's art, no? All I really need is some

That's a wonderful photo. You could get yourself a more comfortable chair, you know. It's allowed. :)

Well, I figured that if I got one more comfortable - i.e., one that had cushions or upholstery, it would have paint or solvent on it within ten minutes. That's just the way things are in my world!

Your dining room chair is at risk, then! If it were me, I'd go for some kind of indistructable metal chair or a really old wooden chair I didn't care about, with a really cushy, comfortable cushion covered in some kind of a wild print that wouldn't show the paint. Kind of like the painting clothes I keep in the basement. :)

looking in on this scene, it seems natural to expect it to be a video a la bob ross. ever thought of recording any and putting them on youtube? hope we get to see that forest scene in higher detail :)

I stop and start so many times (partly because my style requires earlier stages of paint to be dry before I can continue) that it would be very frustrating to watch such a video! Bob Ross was a true performer, who had everything worked out in advance and a great sense of timing to make an episode "flow". Half the time I'm not even sure what colors to use!

Anyway, I'm almost done with the forest and I plan on putting up posts showing different stages of completion like I did last year. So stay tuned...
