My humble studio space

My humble studio space

While looking for a new roommate, I've temporarily taken over the extra room for as long as I'm able.  Having some space to expand is fantastic, and has made me able to become much more productive!  Here's a peek at the space, and some of my works in progress.

The windows across the room from this wall provide beautiful natural light in the afternoon and evening.  It has even inspired some new pieces, so keep your eye out for updates on those.

The large piece is my first watercolor/colored pencil piece of this size, so I'm looking forward to completing it.  At the local scrap exchange, I found some old maps and plan to use them for future work.

My worktable - a random assortment of supplies:

I've got colored pencils and sticks in an array of colors for drawing, as well as a colored pencil sharpener and a nifty tiny eraser stick; I recommend them to anyone doing detailed drawings.  Then there's my watercolor trays, cup o'brushes, and the handy spray bottle.  Snuck under the table are some sketchbooks, books, and pens.

Oooh, closet space!  I'm trying not to get too settled in and start moving art supplies into the closet, it's just so tempting. Four of my newer pieces add some color to my closet area.

My other big wall currently holds my drawing from the Carrack workshop and some new experiments with body parts in the corner.  On the drawing boards are the initial stages of my shadow drawings.

I'm fortunate to have a friend let me take refuge in his garage.  Oil paints are stinky, and therefore best not in your house.  I've finally been able to start some new paintings I've been aching to make for awhile.  I've also got some huge stretcher bars just waiting to find their way into this space.
