PS Those two paintings look completely different now
Looking into an artist's studio is a bit like opening a friend's refrigerator: you are going to learn a lot about them very quickly Since I began blogging on the topic of painters and their palettes I have been floored by the variety of materials my artist friends use, and have also been seduced by the allure of their creative spaces. In this slideshow, there is a painting for every taste and an intimate array of palettes, and studio shots. Looking it over myself, I couldn't help thinking that looking over this slideshow is like eating a 10 course meal prepared by 10 great chefs who let you glimpse their kitchens. Enjoy
PS: If you get addicted to these, check out artist Farrell Brickhouse's "Tables, Shelves and Palettes" on Facebook.
Lisa Pressman: Palette Table

Lisa Pressman: "My palette was built by my husband in 1986. It has a glass top, a place for turps that can be covered up , a draw for paints, two shelves underneath and it is on wheels. The scraped paint tells the story of many paintings. These days I use Gamblin, Williamsburg, and Charvin paints, R & F pigments sticks, or whatever I can afford. After painting with encaustic for a few years I am loving the richness and freedom of the oil paint."
