Dream studio details...

Michele Rushworth · 01-19-2005, 11:50 PM

I'd follow Bill Whitaker's suggestions, like he outlined in our class: dark Leffel-green-grey walls and with several tall windows that had blinds that opened from the top.

As far as square footage, I don't think any amount is too much!

Say you had the chance to design your dream studio. It's a given you have north light, now what else you would have?

IE. How many windows and where on the wall? How much reasonable square footage? etc. etc. etc....

I posted this on another site, so if I get responses there I will share them here too.

I think a large model platform is a nice place to take a nap.

You know you are the only one to mention a model stand! A+

Do you guys think banked lights above the window are good or the system like Marvin's on the arm? I know both would be great, but I also know the light box Marvin uses is expensive.

A little off-topic but is your pup a shepherd mix or pure GSD? Enquiring minds want to know. He/she has a great face! I'm overly fond of shepherds.

Hi Beth,

Mine is 5 years old now and about 70 lbs. We have two females in the house right now, not a good idea. Two female shepherds will fight to the death over dominance so we have to keep them separate. They are wonderful animals, beautiful, smart, loyal. Yours has such an amazing face! It will be fun to see her grow up, be sure to post updates for me (or e-mail them to me direct so we don't "clutter" up the forum with animal posts)!

Once I found the ideal model, all other matters became, indeed, mere detail. Penetrating conversationalist with encyclopedic command of reported facts and supernatural overtones, gourmand, and -- dare I say -- contortionist non pareil.

As you can see, with this beginning, the barest, most pedestrian of easels, palettes, and lighting arrays become secondary. Who could not produce offerings from such an altar?

There is always something more to wish for, of course. Headroom. And some space for stepping back from the easel.

But I am less greedy and needful than in my youthful days. And I am willing to put up with the molting. Call it a fetish, but there it is.
