Art Supplies: Exponential
A little over a year
ago I started sketching. It was simple. A pencil or two and a sketchpad.
I progressed to sketching and drawing. It got
more complicated. I needed (wanted) more marking tools, more surfaces, more
textures.

Urban Sketching / Plein Air Kit |
My supplies multiplied.
Now, I have added painting. Watercolor paints in tubes, pans and pencils. Then came Gouache and Acrylic paints along with more surfaces; canvas, watercolor blocks, pads.....supplies exponential...

Beginning of Project Creep |
Since I split my time in two locations I found it necessary to box up supplies
to take with me. Never knowing what might be needed.
I started with a plastic
container with a snap on lid. It measured about 15x13". Enough to handle
9x12" pads, paints, brushes, pencils.
 |
Plastic Box - worked for awhile |
Supplies soon overtook
it so I added a Banker's Box. The plastic container just fit in it. Now,
everything could be carried in one load.
 |
Good Fit - Uninspiring |
Oh, but that Banker's Box looked dull. Decidedly not artistic.
Yesterday I decided to
add some pizzazz to that old box. I had some left-over wall paint and ceramic
tile from a recent bathroom remodel.
 |
That's more like it |
 |
Packed and Ready to Travel |
Now that Banker's Box
has some character.
 |
Bottom - You Shouldn't See This |
 |
End - I've Got This |
 |
Side - Art Doesn't Always Go Well |
 |
End - Zonk |
 |
Side - It's All Good |
