I have finally figured out the perfect way to organize the art supplies. I'm so excited. Not only have I got the best art space I've had yet, but I finally found a use for the old coke bottle crate that's just been hanging on the wall in the garage.
I really like the look of combining different textures and colors in my doodles and I don't always do a lot of planning for my pictures, so having access to all of the supplies makes things easier, but also a bit overwhelming. In the past, I have tried a few different things, but none have really worked out the way I needed it to. Either there wasn't enough space on the surface I was working on, or everything was jumbled, and I couldn't find what I needed. Other times I would settle and use something else, then find what I should have used in the bottom of a mess of art supplies.

Noah and I were playing with acrylic paints one day and that turned into "lets pour a bunch of paint on the canvas and spread it around with our fingers." My brother Jimmy, aka Uncle Jimbo, came over and painted with us for a while.
Years ago, I ordered 12 of these 8x10 canvas panels from amazon. These canvas panels were mainly for practicing, I don't usually paint pictures with acrylic paint, and they have been great for practice. They have been painted over and over with layers of paint and are perfect for playing with the kids. When the canvases and scrap wood dried, Jimmy and I got out the spray paint and played without the kids. I can definitely see myself doing this again. Not only was it a lot of fun, but I think some of them turned out really neat. |
