Studio tour, My drawing table

Here it is, the start of my Studio tour. This is my large drawing table. Where I do all of my Watercolors, Graphites and works on paper. The walls are a very calming light powder blue. I made the curtains with dark blue fabric that has chickens on it! These were originally my Kitchen curtains, but I think they are so cute here in the studio.

To the right of my table is another drawing table. This one is smaller and much cheaper made. It is my very first drawing table my parents gave me on my sixteenth Birthday! I cried, I was so happy! I keep a lot of odds and ends on that table. Right now I have all the Graphites piled there, that need to be sprayed with a fixative. They are covered up and protected from anything that may fly through the air and from the sunlight from the large window. There is also a sky light above that table.

I spend a lot of time at the Large drawing table. It's like spending time with a good friend. Many a commission paintings have been rendered on this table. I bought it back in the late 1980's. It has held up wonderfully. If I remember correctly, it was called the 'Amazon' (It's not made anymore) and I purchased it from Dick Blick Art Materials catalog. They now have some newer, just as sturdy, tables that I drool over, but I just don't need another table...nor do I have the room for it! You'll see that, as I post more Studio shots later.

I've always had a studio (I feel very blessed!), wherever I have lived. It is a part of my life and whatever I do, there must be a room for this. Just like a man needs his garage! lol.
I'll be posting about renting a studio versus a home studio, soon.
Thanks for posting & following!
