Painting and more Painting

That’s what I’ve been doing lately. I’ve gotten my upstairs craft room pretty well set up for not having furniture. I just need throw pillows and it would be a regular Taj Mahal. Ha. Just kidding. The floor isn’t bad though. I can stretch out and move around as needed which is good…

But back to painting, that’s what I’m up to. I’ve put away the acrylics for now due to the sheer amount of frustration they’re causing me. I just can’t seem to get them to do what I want them to do. What happened? I don’t know.

I’ve moved back to my Gauche. Opaque water colors.. YAY. No, also incredibly frustrating. But at least I’m having fun with it and it takes the work out of washing out my brushes every single time I use them. I can just rinse them out and call it good. If I don’t do a good enough job the paint is water soluble so I don’t destroy my brushes.. or actually my flooring if I happen to make a mess.

I would love to upload pictures but alas, I am without a camera! I do have my phone, and you can check my instagram for random shit I’ve been working on.

Also I suck at doing yoga. More on that later.

Insanity!!

Just kidding. My life has been all kinds of crazy since re-entering the work place. I put in my two-weeks notice at Starbucks, so after the 11th I will no longer have to do the one thing I’m best at and the one thing I hate the most; make coffee.

Today I’m painting. What am I painting? The same ol’ crazy things I always end up painting. Here’s my work station.. and yes I call it that because it doesn’t stay this way all the time.

Painting Station

It gets the job done. You can see my paints, my mediums, my brushes, my pads, etc etc etc. The only thing you can’t see is the weird lap easel I use and my energy drink and ashtray on another tub/table to my right. I’m excited to see what comes of this 🙂
