While my studio is under construction, I’ve been having a swell time painting 4x6 acrylic paintings on watercolor 140 lb cold press at my design table. I always forget how much fun it is to do paintings on paper. I started with watercolor but soon tired of that. I like doing pen with watercolor but plain WC, not so much. It always seems bland to me and I don’t have the patience to wait for drying between layers. It is just not my game without the ink too. Opaque is my game and it always has been. I love oils,acrylics,and casein. I don’t mind gouache but it is not my favorite.
Waiting for my studio upgrade is hard. The studio is quite empty and unusable. I know it will be worth the wait, but I sure miss standing in front of my easel, listening to my WW2 and other history podcasts while I paint with joy. It has to be finished by July 14th. Fingers crossed! If not, I will have to put the old studio back together for 2 days. I would rather not do that! I’ve been thinking some about changing some things around in the room when I move back in.
New spaces are fun for country painters……
