I started another pear study. This time in brown. I'm still using the Holbien paints. I'm getting spoiled. I don't think I can go back to the W&Ns. I didn't get to finish this study in one sitting as we ended up opening our presents and then had to get ready to go over to my sis-in-law's house for dinner.
I ended up placing my mixed palette and my brushes in a Masterson Air-Tight Palette Seal. I snapped the blue cover all around and I'm hoping the paints and brushes will remain moist until I'm ready to paint again...hopefully in the next two days or so. I will report back the results later.
I think I'm going to call this painting 'Chocolate Pears'. My palette looks like a range of dark chocolate to milk chocolate. Yummy!

My hubby bought me a floor standing easel for Christmas! While I was painting upstairs, he was downstairs putting it together. There was an included leaflet that contained diagrams of the easel, but no instructions. He mentioned it was a bit tricky. He did a great job!
Now, I have two places to paint. Here in the main level, there is plenty of daylight I would like to take advantage of. So, I think I'll paint here during the weekends (in the corner between two windows). I'll be able to use my large glass palette (pre-cut glass from Home Depot) for the larger canvas.
