Studio
A long time ago (2 years?) I said I would post pictures of my new studio. Well better late than never. I have not bothered to correct the perspective distortion in the following pictures. Limited distance to shoot with a 28 mm lens really causes parallax problems.
The room is 11x14 feet and the built in furniture was already existing when I bought the house. The ceiling height ranges form 14 to 10 feet. The walls were painted a very grayed green and a Wilsonart burled cherry floor was installed. The floor is so impervious that it can be cleaned with acetone without damage.
The first picture is of the west wall of the studio. A painting by a friend of mine (Domingo - yes just the one name) hangs to the left of a Hughes 4000 easel (a great easel as it is weight balanced. At a simple touch a painting can easily moved up or down or side to side as needed) The 56x30 painting on the easel is in the block in stage, but will be the subject of a WIP post in the near future. By the way Domingo has sold more than $1 million of his art in the last ten years all over the world. He turns out 5 to 7 of these abstracts a day. No tears please for us realistic artists!
Picture 2 is the northwest corner. I keep my color charts handy as I usually use just 6 colors plus white on my palette. This handy chart keeps my color mixing problems to a minimum.
Picture 3 is the north window and my color mixing/storage center. A fluorescent fixture with 4 color corrected tubes (CRI 98) provides supplemental light. The over head fan has four color corrected fluorescent bulbs in the attached light kit. This lighting combination keeps all shadows off of my canvas.
Picture 4 is my desk at a condition of neatness it rarely sees. A wonderful sound system run off of my computer lets me queue up a whole days worth of music. Sarah Brightman is playing in this shot.
