Studio Grande in living color. Yummy luscious living C-O-L-O-R!!!
Look at that! Don’t you just want to dive in face first because it’s so EXCITING! Brushes! Paint! Ahhhhhhhhhhhh….
First tonight’s brushes…my special friends. The new favorite, the scrawny guy on the left. The one in blue. Came from a bin of cheapies at the local crafts store. OMG, I LOVE THIS BRUSH! Cost me under two bucks and he (’cause he’s a he) he’s a freakin’ work horse! I painted an entire canvas with him yesterday, a 28X30 inch canvas.
OK, so here it is from yesterday, a work-in-progress. But this is all the work of my new little friend.
Fast forward to tonight. I came home from work and headed down to the studio. I had the painting itch. Thought this girl might like to evolve some more. Figured it would be cool to show pictures of the process.
So I started taking them. The brushes up above.
The water.
The palette. Oh look…a yellow heart! And a while, umm…I dunno.
The process. Yes, yes, I know. I’m using the other brush. Must be cheating on Mr. Best Brush. Go figure.
And then…oh noooooooooo! I dropped the camera! All the way down to the floor. Where it bounced. And beeped. And stopped working.
Damn you, gravity!
IT STOPPED WORKING!!!
My beloved best ever in my pocket or purse all the time. My Canon SX210 STOPPED WORKING!!!
I thought about rushing in to town. Getting another one before the grief set in. Replace my camera with another and pretend the whole thing never happened. I’m an artist. And a blogger. How can I function without a camera???
I HAVE TO HAVE ONE!!!
But a trip to town would cost me the light. And a whole bunch o’money. And I had the painting itch. So I stayed in the studio and painted. Made quite a bit of progress. That I can’t show you. Because I don’t have a camera.
You’ll just have to take my word for it.
And if you can recommend a camera I’d be most obliged.
Oh no! I feel your pain. Have you tried taking the batteries out and putting them back in? And the SD card? That might do it. Camera’s are really cheap these days. hugs.
Battery out. Battery in. Still stuck in ‘lens error mode’. I’ll call Cannon and see what they say but I’m not going to send big bucks on reapir, especially since cameras are so cheap these days.
That being said, do I spend more money and get a big fancy one for shooting art? Or do I get another little one for the pocket which means I’ll actually use it…
First – isn’t a great (cheap) brush the best find ever!!
Now I love the beginnings of your new painting – and are you in your new studio?
YIKES – on dropping the camera. I agree with Sue – try re-setting everything in your camera – bummerino to drop it!
xxoo
Move in date for the new studio…July 8. Mr. Spouse has it all figured out, probably down to the minute because he’s THAT kind of guy.
Gotta love him.
Almost as much as I love my new brush!
