Itdoesn’t matter if you are a fulltime professional artist or ahobbyist, a dedicated studiowill help! My studio has gonethrough several iterations inthe past few years. I startedwith unpacking supplies andtaking my paints to the kitchenso I would have space to workon a full-sized sheet ofwatercolor paper until my painting was done, then putting everything awayagain. I don’t recommend this method. It might take you 20-30 minutes just toget all your art supplies out and set up before you can work. What if you onlyhave 30 minutes to paint?Next, I moved my “studio” to the top of my dresser in my bedroom. But, as youcan guess, it was soon overrun with clothing and miscellaneous items thatseem to accumulate on our dresser tops. (Argh!)Then I tried an old table set up in our home office. There was no storage formy supplies, and only one window. But, at least I had a dedicated work tablethat wasn’t overrun with random items. It worked for a while.Finally, my husband helped me swap our kids’ room with the office. The newspace became my studio/office. I was so excited! I had two windows and thebest natural light in the house! I purchased a second-hand adjustable art tablefor 20, some milk crates to raise table, and a second-hand tall chair for 5. Inow have a dedicated studio. It’s not big, it’s not fancy, but it’s functional! Astudio allows me to use every spare minute I have to paint without wasting mytime finding and unpacking art supplies. While I still don’t have as muchpainting time as I would like, I’ll take every half hour I can find!Try to find a space in your home, even if it’s only a corner of one room, whereyou can set out your art supplies and leave them out. Dedicate it as yourstudio, and try not to let the space accumulate non-art items. (This is hard!)Every time you walk by, you will have more desire to paint and more joy inknowing you have your own studio. It doesn’t have to be fancy it just has tobe functional!-JenniferWebsite: www.utahwatercolor.orgEmail: info@utahwatercolor.orgUWS Paint Spot March/April 2018

Soon after that dream,they converse well in a limitedway. Progression in art is like thisprogression in a foreign language. While progressing often goes step bystep and doing a little better each time, in art and language importantprogression usually occurs in spurts. An artist will study and practice and dobadly for a long time; then an inner realization occurs followed by a leap to ahigher ability— a breakthrough accompanied by amazement over what justhappened.An artist can stay at the breakthrough level but more often falls back to theold methods. He/she keeps trying to recreate the breakthrough, building newskills step by step, until looking back to realize the current work equals thesingular past achievement. Looking forward, the artist sees the possibility ofanother breakthrough. He/she will then study, practice and do badly for along time while looking forward to another ‘ah ha' moment.Study, practice and doing badly for a long time is discouraging. Knowingthere is process makes it easier to bear. An artist can look forward to thetime when he/she will dream in values, lines and colors in a new way andknow something great is about to happen.Kent BakerCVC Member Meetings are held thesecond Tuesday of each month atthe Logan Library.
