Notes From The Studio: Portable Drawing Materials

Lately when I have been going to the studio to paint, Michele has been joining me, and working on drawings. She realized it was easier to set up for drawing instead of bringing all her acrylic painting supplies along. Pictured here are her supplies-bristol paper pad, separate containers for Prismacolor pencils, pencil shavings, sunflower seeds, and shells-and a Diet Pepsi.

Notes From The Studio: The Home Studio

In our home, the first room you see when you come through the front door is our art studio. This is Michele Bledsoe's set up.

I have the other half of the room as my acrylic painting studio (my oil paintings are done at our gallery Deus Ex Machina)

We have been painting 7 days a week! This is as it should be.

Notes From the Studio

Sometimes when I do too much detail work on a painting, 

I am no longer able to see it as a whole.

I have to look at it upside down to gain a new perspective.
