which went to a new home this month a friend called this process fearless and i guess it is in a way but mostly it is freeing a super fun way to rework older oil paintings with oil cold wax and a silicone bowl scraper if you would like to see a video of the painting process of hello summer visit my instagram page and click on the video on another subject with changes to blogger i no longer

friday april 21 2023 pastels are usually framed with a mat and spacer so why did i tape the border i like a white mat around my pastel work normally i would cut a mat and use a spacer to allow pastel particles to fall behind the mat and not on the mat but my new studio isn t set up yet and my fletcher mat cutter is in storage so how to get the look of a mat without cutting a mat tape the edges and put the pastel directly against the glass see the video no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels framing pastels how to pastel pastel pastelmat tuesday february 14 2023 notecards throughout my many years of making art i ve frequently made notecards using my art images this was usually for workshops i taught so students could have an inexpensive take away example of my work when my fancy epson printer finally bit the dust the one i used for prints and cards i wasn t concerned about replacing it as it happened about the same time i retired from teaching big workshops with our move back to vashon island there are new opportunities swiftwater the new local gallery provides an opportunity to sell cards again i created two cards of my best of show award winners and took them to the gallery last sunday thanks to the nice woman who promptly purchased one of each edge of winter and heartbreak morning are two old favorites i m happy to see them back as notecards and amused about the little logo i created for the back of each card no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest thursday january 12 2023 the

move most of my flat files into the studio to replace the table you may have seen there before waiting for a dry day to bring in the drawers for the bottom flat file as well as all the beautiful watercolor and printmaking paper i forgot i even had the pastel paintings on the wall above the flat files are my next victims for rework i have my second rework on the easel now winter afternoon

pinterest thursday november 17 2022 studio tour it s a mini studio we moved and i gave up my 500 square foot studio i m learning how to compromise as you enter looking left is the little desk space i created for small acrylic work next comes my big hughes easel with rolling wire rack to hold my french mistress and oil paints in plastic jars organized by color a favorite tool is the palette garage see it on top of the french mistress stored behind the hughes is my good old soltek easel heavy but great for plein air work turn to the right and you re in the framing area my table is a fold out from costco covered in a drop cloth and topped with indoor outdoor carpeting i m grateful for the shelves already installed along this wall hard to see but framed paintings are stored beneath the shelves on the left art books are under the shelves on the right watercolor palettes on the top shelf open box m and bitteroot pochade are on this shelf the wall above the table is where i organize paintings for shows so i can see how the body of work will look when hung together turn right again and you re at the pastel work station two stainless steel tables hold pastels and two lazy susans loaded with bottles and jars my biggest challenge is lighting we installed two new light fixtures and i have additional lamps but i m still experimenting with light bulbs surprisingly to me i think i will love my mini studio for painting but there is no room for students or sanding panels or framing large pieces that will have to happen in another building no comments email this blogthis share to

in one box marked brushes they must be among the boxes still in the garage but i have looked there many times with no luck my watercolor brushes and watercolor paint are in the studio and i am eyeing them because the early autumn pastoral scenes here are spectacular lovely browns and golds due to the lack of rain i am contemplating what to do should i go back to watercolor until i find my bushes i even have a chair for contemplation in the studio now that my office isn t in my studio for the first time hmmm coincidentally i have also hung one of my watercolor paintings in the studio go to the end of this post to see it the view east from my contemplation chair looking west there s the chair i plan to sit in to contemplate life art what to make for dinner etc you may notice that my pastel
