They ask us not to get paint on the wall...Hi Kathy,<br />They ask us not to get paint on the walls or floor so I've stapled up plastic sheeting from the hardware over the walls, and I've put down drop cloths on the floor. They don't mind push pins, nails or staples into the walls, though. This particular studio was built as a painting studio and so the whole north wall is windows. There are track lights, as well... most of the time in the day, however, I don't even have the lights on!<br /><br />The paint I'm using is acrylic, student grade paint. I'm painting mostly on gessoed canvas from a roll I bought a couple of years ago, about 25 or so yards I guess. It's around 60" wide.<br /><br />Kathy, it really is liberating to not have to worry (too much) about spreading things out and spashing paint around. I can also step back 20 or so feet to see what I'm doing. It's really a dream come true to be able to have the space and time to work this way... now, whether anything that will be tapestry weave-able will result is another matter! Just getting the painting itch out of my system is a grand thing.Tommye McClure Scanlinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816922767294739515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-716048807398679258.post-2729663531838673542011-08-21T20:18:59.936-04:002011-08-21T20:18:59.936-04:00Tommye, this is fascinating me!
