Lots of clever design solutions. The palette setup is a little different than what Im used to, but hopefully having my raw paint and my mixing paint in completely different areas will make my colors at least a little less muddy. The thing I like best is the wet canvas storage in the lid- not that I ever could paint so much, but I think I could store up to 8 wet panels in there if I needed to. Awesome! <br />Got to the painting workshop really late the other night, but I think the new box setup is gonna work out well.<br />Check out Ben's site <a href="http://allaprimapochade.com">http://allaprimapochade.com</a><br />I got the bigger Yellowstone model because I need as much palette space as possible- but all three sizes are amazing bits of craftsmanship. Thanks to JimmyG for referring me to Ben's Alla Prima Pochades!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6928416633906706380-4896474013353758590?l=en-bsquickstudies.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>enbnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928416633906706380.post-26101632777870600552009-05-21T07:57:00.000-07:002009-05-21T08:49:52.184-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1C1FGR5CbpE/ShVsJ7rPgGI/AAAAAAAACAA/jG78TvFF2xM/s1600-h/May20.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_1C1FGR5CbpE/ShVsJ7rPgGI/AAAAAAAACAA/jG78TvFF2xM/s400/May20.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338291851211276386" /></a><br />Nice night. Other bits of note. Been waiting a long time to ride through Washington Square Park on the way home, or on the way to Salmagundi Club, and last night I found that finally it has been opened. Lots of people congregate there all through the night- had time to sit down and enjoy a duo playing banjo and washboard complete with a few people doing various jigs. Super entertaining scene and a perfect conclusion to my evening.<br /><br />9x12 oil on a board and almost a couple hours<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6928416633906706380-2610163277787060055?l=en-bsquickstudies.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>enbnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928416633906706380.post-6653394653059018242009-05-21T07:54:00.000-07:002009-05-21T07:56:35.587-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1C1FGR5CbpE/ShVrg3SGuPI/AAAAAAAAB_4/pMI_eUHzCsw/s1600-h/Taxday.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 286px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1C1FGR5CbpE/ShVrg3SGuPI/AAAAAAAAB_4/pMI_eUHzCsw/s400/Taxday.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338291145657465074" /></a><br />Found some relief from my taxes at the Wednesday night long pose.<br />April 16, 2009<br />Found some relief from my taxes at the Wednesday night long pose.<br />Oil paint, board, and a couple hours.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6928416633906706380-665339465305901824?l=en-bsquickstudies.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>enbnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928416633906706380.post-28964548061514237662009-05-21T07:53:00.000-07:002009-05-21T07:54:41.077-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1C1FGR5CbpE/ShVrDUPiRXI/AAAAAAAAB_w/rZuMMQn1l9o/s1600-h/figurepainting.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_1C1FGR5CbpE/ShVrDUPiRXI/AAAAAAAAB_w/rZuMMQn1l9o/s400/figurepainting.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338290638035240306" /></a><br />March 22 2009<br />about 2 hours and a heineken<br />oil on paper board<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6928416633906706380-2896454806151423766?l=en-bsquickstudies.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>enbnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6928416633906706380.post-27048356760673368922009-05-20T10:02:00.001-07:002009-05-20T10:10:43.523-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1C1FGR5CbpE/ShQ3y4gLeZI/AAAAAAAAB_o/nXwvUxmJjmU/s1600-h/saturdaysunsettree.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 287px; height: 400px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_1C1FGR5CbpE/ShQ3y4gLeZI/AAAAAAAAB_o/nXwvUxmJjmU/s400/saturdaysunsettree.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337952805641222546" /></a><br />nice sunset in central park painting with bages post metropolitan museum of art<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6928416633906706380-2704835676067336892?l=en-bsquickstudies.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>enbnoreply@blogger.com0
