Find a space in your house that you can set up your stuff without it being in the way. This is hard for me because we live in a small house with a mobile baby and a hyper dog. Our laundry/mud room/sun room/ whatever room is my best location. I have a closet loaded with my art supplies and my easel already in there. As you set up make sure you have a surface to set your canvas/board down, in my case I have an easel. Then, make sure you have a table next to that surface that you can collect all the supplies you need on that table. Also, make sure you have a stool if you like to sit while you work. I'm odd and get up multiple times during painting because I like to move while I think through my process. Finally, collect your supplies you plan on using. I will have paint brushes, palette knives, a cup of water (since I am using acrylic paints), paper towels, the modeling paste, pumice gel, PAINT, a plate or surface of some kind to mix the paint, and a glass of water to drink (don't mix that up with your rinsing water...that might not taste too good). Have it all ready? Great! Now, you can get started!
Next week, I'll get started! I will upload a short video on my first part of my painting. I will start slowly and each week I will add to the painting. This video is for advice not to copy my work. Please create your own masterpiece! It will be a lot more fun to tell people that you created it all on your own. At the end of the video series for my first painting I will sell the painting to whom ever would like to purchase it. I will load it to my Etsy shop for purchase. This week get those spaces ready and your mind buzzing with ideas of paintings you would like to try. See you next week friends!
