As I needed a quick break from my proper job, here is a picture of my workspace taken late one evening last week. In what will be a highly irregular (as per usual) series this sneak preview picture was taken after a modeling and painting session after which I had been taking a few WIP images for various ongoing projects. As the previous posts detailing the modeling and painting of the latest pirate (fisherman) ogre seemed popular I thought I would make this approach more of a regular feature.

And yes, I do need to put my paints in some kind of order. And yes, I probably should just concentrate on one project at a time but I get bored too easily. As my dear old nan used to say, "Variety is the spice of life". That's my excuse anyway.
Nice to see your work area; appreciate you taking the time to itemize the stuff. For me, no matter how organize I start off, once I start painting it quickly devolves into a chaotic mess. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I love seeing where everyone else works and as for the variety well why not! I'm actually pretty envious of the space you have.
ReplyDeleteI like the chaos, I'm always worried by very neat painting desks!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comments. I like to think it's organised chaos.
ReplyDeleteI operate on the 'volcano principle' when it comes to worktops. Whatever is in front of me is 'hot'. As it gets 'colder' (or becomes boring) it gets pushed to the edges.
