Space!!!!
I’ve made room to work on larger pieces and still reach what I need in a short reach, long reach, or two steps :). Timing CAN be everything. To my right are three heated palettes for pigmented wax medium with the vent fan above. Directly in front of me is a griddle for clear medium. The electric skillet is for making medium. When I’m making medium I work from the front of this drawing table. The white shelf unit has drawers of tools, cakes of prepared medium, oil paint, R&F encaustic paint, paper towels, razor blades, etc. To the left of my chair is my drawing table for preparing plans and drawings. Behind me are shelves for boards, books, raw materials (beeswax, damar resin, soy wax), frames, pans and utensils for making medium, etc.
This should work for a while….
Brilliant, right?
Painting storage is a BIG DEAL for me because of the the dumb stuff I’ve done in the past. Actually, I’ve done five dumb things — they’re named Carm, George, Noah, Smooch, and Spoon. With cats in the studio, paintings are NEVER left in the horizontal position!
This bakers rack is working great for encaustics and caseins. They’re protected from dust and little feet. And I adore all ten little feet, by the way. They’re all rescues who needed a safe home and regular groceries. Below are George and Carm - best buds when they aren’t in mortal combat.
