Tools: Galaxy Tab S7

When it comes to digital work I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 tablet with S-Pen. I use Infinite Painter for Android by Infinite Studio. I also have a vector app called Infinite Designer also by Infinite Studio but I don’t use it much these days except for the occasional quick idea drawing.

Galaxy Tab S7 with S-Pen. I have the Infinite Painter launch screen open that allows me to choose current and recent projects I have been working on. From here I can also see past projects and create a new project.

A few unwanted paintings

I retrieved quite a few unsold paintings from the gallery in Morro Bay a few weeks ago and hung them on the walls of the studio to clear up the crowd of boxes taking up space in the studio. What to do with these paintings that nobody seems to want? Hmm.

The piece with the white matt around it at the right of this image is a photo of Morro Rock by Greg Siragusa all the rest of the pieces are by me.

The pieces on this long wall are my creation except the one at the middle of the image with the white boarder and the small piece with the dark frame at the bottom just above the bed headboard.

The New Studio Layout

I finished my new studio layout project this week. Well I mostly finished it. I still need to get a lamp to light up the work table. I’m also planning on replacing the ceiling fan/light with a track system so I can point various lights to areas of the room along with a smart light switch that I can control with my Nest Hub. I was able to toss some things that have been hanging around and not being used so it feels good to declutter.

Moving from left right: I thought I would need to move the paint rack but it ended up staying. Next to it is the new shelf unit from IKEA. I left the top dividers off so I could make a longer shelf to hold my dowels. Next to it on the adjacent wall is my new computer desk. Then comes the tall shelf unit also from IKEA. And finally the new work table I pickup from Home Depot. It has two shelves under the top. The table top can raise and lower using the crank handle. It is very sturdy.

The dining room. Not just for dining.

I decided to make a bigger painting panel this time using nice plywood for the panel I got from McBeath Hardwood instead of MDF that I usually use. And I'm using pine I got from the Home Depot for the frame. My little work surface on the balcony is too small so I'm using the dining room floor. I sit in the chair to add extra weight while the glue dries.

Floor space, newspaper, and a chair for weight. I sat on the chair for extra weight.

A lot more on the table

What a mess. I am currently working on one of my smaller box like pieces and you can see by the image that there are a lot of things that are accumulating than are usually there when I am working on the larger Cayucos Lattice pieces.

Latex molds, can of plaster, sanding block, ink roller, brushes, glue, art pieces, eye screws, newspaper clippings, little saw and miter box, stir sticks, scraping cards, and mixing jars. Resting upright on the little purple sofa are a couple of cast plaster doll legs in molds.
