Third World Studio Artist

This temporary squatting set-up feels third world-ish, minus the guaranteed buck at the end of the day.

that is looking really interesting. not the lumbar destroying posture- the painting.

Thanks Kim. This painting changes dramatically in different light, from chalky and subtle lavender-grays to fairly rich browns.

wow, i misperceived the scale of these in previous shots. great to see the w.i.p. in situ.

They also have quite a bit of variance in paint thickness and sheen, doesn't translate virtually.

I've used that position in some basement-located studio situations, too. Do you have a good strategy for keeping your knees out of your palette?

Carla said...

Presuming palette is between knees, wide stance?

I didn't realize those paintings were so big. BTW, would the closed door to the left be why there are no kitties traipsing through?

Naw, door is shut so I don't have to straddle it as well.

I am so behind!

Nice Mahl stick.

I'm a tad embarrased at using a mahl stick on this type of painting. It was a wet paint and sweater sleeve in paint thing.
