MY PAINTING STUDIO

When painting on location (plein air), the time available and weight of equipment are important factors. The space available in my home studio is limited, so I paint small size images (9"x12")(11"x14") (12x16")in oils or acrylic paint.

This is typical view of my outside studio. I now use a half size French Easel


The inside studio, doubles as office and library


You can see the half size French easel on the floor always packed and ready to go at a moments notice


This is the viewing room for nearly completed paintings (eg wall behind the toilet door) Its a peaceful place and not too many interuptions. Unfortunately, the seat's not that comfortable. It has an inbuilt exhaust system to remove unwanted paint fumes.:)

Painting From Life
Larry Seiler
Location:Laona, Wisconsin, United States
The first 20 years of painting for me were gungho geared to build a reputation which I did blah blah, gathering materials for my paintings...laboring 200-300 hours toward a hyper realism and besting other artists. Then it hit me, I was indoors painting outdoor subjects! Twenty years before reason would "huh?...um, er duh!" From there I took myself outdoors to paint from life, saw effects of indirect light...loosened up, and my aim has been more to celebrate life in paint! I am an art instructor, and at 51 years of age finally working toward a masters in painting.....
