Here is below my small but very much loved painting studio.
I tend to fill every inch of the wall with paintings or references I printed for inspiration.
Below is what I call "my organised mess". On the wall, amongst Renoir, Klimt, Seago and Degas's masterpieces the everlasting romantic in me couldn't resist sticking a picture of Clark Gable and Vivien Leigh's legendary kiss!
Below is a close up of my painting palette. For colour harmony purposes I use quite a restricted range of colours which includes mainly Naples Yellow, Yellow Ochre, Burnt & Raw Umber, Burnt & Raw Sienna, Cadmium red, Ultramarine Blue, Cerulean Blue and Titanium White.
When I paint, I love to get a bit messy and get my fingers full of paint so I wear this smock shown below to protect my clothes and also use it to wipe my brushes. It does look a bit cliché but does the job!
