Today was a good painting day, now that I have my studio corner cleaned and organized. Here is the second Chile Wreath painting but started before I’d worked out how to do the raffia top…and also a bit high up on the paper! Sigh. I will add upper lighter layers of the raffia in paler gouache once I’m satisfied with the chiles themselves, and figured out a background. But for now, here is is.
And here’s what my newly cleaned studio corner of the living room looks like. My plein air easel and palette are in the suitcase and I”m loving the new desk lamp ott light that lets me paint at night without a horrid glare. Supplies are in the bureau drawers. It’s a studio cobbled together that works well for me.
Dark tones in Chile Wreath created a nice depth! Turned out very well!
I like your new studio set up! Specially the bureau drawers where you can everthing at one place!

Thank you Sharon. I like being able to paint standing up, having the thin shelf to put computer or still life set up to use as reference.

Thank you my friend! We won’t talk about the clear off of flat surfaces that occurred before company arrived. I walk by that box in the garage and pretend it isn’t there!

So important to have a place in the house for the artist to call home. Way to go, Rachel, and I’ll be curious how the chile wreath develops. 💛
