My Set-up

Someone asked me how my set up looked when I paint. Well this is it:It is not very exciting, but then again, I’m still a student, so I take what I get 😉 I sit on the floor of my apartment, comfortably perched on top of of a pillow with the painting in my knee.  I know this isn’t the best, but it is the best I can do here.

It was fun, although we are still sitting with the videos, trying to convert them from one format to another so that we can submit it. The next project for me will be to start a new painting. This time it will be my boyfriend that […]
