My New Studio Space


 Every now and then you have to make a change in your artistic endeavors. My most recent change was to my studio set up, mostly the color of the walls. The walls of the room I use as my studio space were Yellow (2 walls) and Purple (2 walls) as it used to be a nursery for children,

Having yellow and purple walls would reflect those colors into the rest of the room. When painting I would notice that certain colors were not coming out as they should. While mixing the paints on my palette, that reflected color was corrupting the colors I was mixing.

So I decided that it was time to make a change. I emptied the room and painted the walls a nice neutral grey. This is the best thing I have done to my studio to date and having emptied it and refilled it afterwards has allowed me to make the room more organized and set up in a fashion that allows me to have more of my materials at hand when needed.

What I would like to know, is how have you changed your artistic endeavors in a way that has either impacted you in a positive or in a negative way? Have you become more or less inspired by these changes you have made and or has this change impacted your art in anyway?
