Weekly BobBlast Issue 386
Best of BobBlast - Productivity

Welcome Back to Another BobBlast!
Kate and I are very thankful that you continue to watch and support the BobBlasts! We are giving thanks for health and well-being, as well as being able to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends. Be thankful and enjoy your Holiday!

This BobBlast is a Best of BobBlast - take some time out and enjoy!

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
•Journal 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.
