Hey there, creative friends!
Having a studio inside the house can be a pain, mostly because I don't want to make a mess since some materials will leave a permanent mark. But I have watched a few YouTube videos with junk journalers using a box to spray inks onto their projects because they have to film it for their channels. And I thought: I can use that!
I used the biggest box I could find; I often keep the packaging from things we buy and cut it down to make it shallower. Then, I lined it with layers of newspaper for the purpose of pouring paint projects.
I do pour paint. And lots of it too, but to colour the background for a painting, especially mixed media paintings. I have one hanging in my office as a reminder that it still needs to be finished - it's a seascape. But the box works! If Hubs is busy away from home, I use his garage to set up the process. It has more space than my studio, but I am still using the box. Then I make a mess with my hands and on my apron, but it is loads of fun.
>> Tomorrow, we have the Letter Q. I will use it to answer any questions you might have. Please leave your questions in the comments below. Thank you! ☺️
Until tomorrow!

I'm not a painter at all, but it's interesting to hear about how others do it! @samanthabwriter from

I only started drawing and painting in 2010, when I decided than I wanted to learn something new. Now I am addicted, but I totally get where you're coming from, Samantha. Thank you for stopping by today! 😃
DeleteI don't work with paint anymore but they can be messy. I imagine even if you confine to a single space, it's still a mess that needs cleaning. But I guess you can discard those boxes and start anew.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
The interesting part is that the box is still good to use. I have to replace the newspapers more often, so it's working out well. Thank you for visiting today, Lissa. Enjoy the rest of the weekend! 💜
