BobBlast #254
Welcome back to another BobBlast!
Productivity in the studio is one of my primary goals. It comes in many forms - not just painting.
When you are in your studio (where you produce paintings) and the urge to paint just isn't there... but you still feel the need to produce, you can do the following:
*Organize your paints
*Jou
rnal in your sketchbook
*Clean your brushes
*Gesso canvas and watercolor paper (mine is Cheap Joe's Kilimanjaro 300 lb)
*Review your early sketchbooks
*Clean the floor and empty the trash
You get the idea... Preparing yourself to paint comes in many forms.
I
prefer
efficiency in the studio. Cleaning my studio and my painting supplies helps
me to focus on painting productivity. I don't like to waste time
"looking around for things" while I'm painting. For me to produce my best work, I can't afford to be a scatter-brain! Many years ago I was an Industrial Designer, so productivity for me is still relevant.
I know this is not the most exciting thing to do in the studio, but while doing some of these tasks, I'm still thinking about - and planning - my next painting.
Below is a list of featured workshops - but did you know that I also offer private sessions in my studio? Perfect for beginners who want a crash course in watercolor or acrylic or for artists who are designing an exhibit and want to bounce ideas for content and techniques. I devote 100% of my studio time to you! Designed for 1 to 3 people - if you are interested or have questions, email kate@robertburridge.com
Some of our subscribers have asked about the "behind the scenes" people who make the weekly BobBlast possible - so we want to give a shout out and thank Bo von Hohenlohe for editing the BobBlast videos. Bo also produces websites and helps authors self-publish books. Please visit his website at www.bvhprods.com
Thanks again for watching and telling your friends! All my BobBlasts are archived on my
website
and my
YouTube Channel.
We post new studio tips weekly that offer real content, substance and useful techniques that work for me. And they're free! We appreciate your interest, questions, comments and support!
Here's a quick reminder and some upcoming workshops and dates.
