Well, today I won't be posting the Saturday Morning Skraw, but I have been drawing things up this week.
Plato once said "Necessity is the mother of invention" and
working as hard and as long as I have this week in my studio, I got so
frustrated and covered in paint that I decided I was going to do
something about it. You see, I have 2 palettes that I use when I paint
- a hand-held palette, and a table palette with a glass top for easy
clean up. The problem I have been having is with the hand-held
palette. After searching for hours online for a palette that would
solve my problem of getting oil paint on my left sleeve and arm, and
the occasional stress and pain I feel in my left arm from holding the
palette a certain way, I sat down and designed my own palette - one
that would put an end to paint on my left sleeve and arm, one that
would rest comfortably on my left hip or belt if I wanted, and one that
had the correct angle at the fingers that I could place used brushes in
my left hand easily.
So you can understand what I created here, let's take a look at some artist palettes:
