The Striped Pitcher

8"x 6" oil on canvas/panel $140. SOLD

Artist Note.

I LOOOOVE my new studio!

 I want to show you my

set-up for painting a still life

 I needed  something that was: 

convenient to get to... 

right by my easel...

      and very versatile...

This fits the bill perfectly.

I screwed two shelving strips 

into the wall

making them long enough 

so I could adjust

the viewpoint from either,

eye level - see below

- or moving it down for 

taller still life set-ups.

 (See last image)

It is so easy to adjust. 

. I used the longer18-inch brackets

to support a good sized surface. 

I used a 20"x20" piece of plywood

on top of the lower brackets

and  placed a piece of

24' foam core over the top

This also prevents my overhead light 

from interrupting a

single light source.

I can have fabric over this 

to drop down behind

And I can also use colored paper

The gooseneck light

 adjusts in any position

from any side.

This shows how 

I can also use the

  sight-size method. 

So there it is. I hope I get a 

lot of use out of it.

Whoo hoo!!
