BobBlast 522 - "Ready, Set, Go… Studio Prep!"
Weekly BobBlast Issue 522
Ready, Set, Go… Studio Prep!
Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!
I’m Home-what a flurry of traveling and in-person workshops we have had! My next traveling workshop is in Bar Harbor, Maine this October. You can read more about that below, in this BobBlast. So, I am home, reacquainting myself with my studio-and that includes prepping my painting tables for my next series.
I paint multiples-two, three or more. I start with the concept - the first of what I call the 5Cs. I paint multiple versions of this concept. They are not all alike. They are similar. They are siblings, not twins.
So, after determining my concept, I am ready to prep my table. I paint flat on a six-foot table, covered with brown craft paper or 4 mil plastic.
Materials I place on my table:
•At least two large, wide-mouthed buckets of water
•Full sheets of 140 or 300 lb watercolor paper, gessoed
•Two or three brushes
•Paint - pre-determined color combination-I only put out that paint + black and white
•Drawing pens and pencils
•Paper Towels
•Sketch Book
•Gel medium and collage papers
•Spray bottles-one with water, one with isopropyl alcohol
•Hand barrier salve
I place my tools-brushes, paints, drawing materials and water on my right side because I am right-handed. I have everything ready so I don’t have to look for it and break my cadence!
The last part of my painting prep is tearing the paper to the size I want to work on. Also, because I mount my watercolor paper paintings on cradled wood panels, I want to have all four edges deckled. Watch the video and see how I do that!
Creating a Series is part of the Loosen Up Workshop Retreat! I have an In-Person Loosen Up Workshop in my Studio coming up in a few months! There are more in-person Loosen Up Workshops scheduled in Bar Harbor, Maine and Hermosa Beach, CA. Join us! Reserve your spot today!

    Very informative thank you! I’ve flown many times from UK to Saudi Arabia with my acrylic sets with no problem at all. But one time my sister was coming to visit me and she was bringing along some paints for me, but at the airport the airline check in asked “do you have any flammable items etc”, my sister got flustered and blurted “I just have some paints.” Well, they asked her to remove all of them from her suitcase. We learned to Never say that again 😅

    Dear Bob. I work in a kitchen, wearing an apron all day. If you don't get the right kind they can affect your posture and cause pain in your neck and shoulders. Get the one that crisscrosses in back. It has two loops at the waist that the long strings go through and then you tie. Your body will appreciate it.
