Now that I’m painting again with shaking hands and unbalanced sitting and standing. I realized I needed an Easel that can…
• Have a fixed but easily moved bar over the painting that I can rest my hands on without touching the wet painting.
• Also need an Easel that could hold me up or support my weight when I lose balance or need support to stay up.
• A shelf under paintings for stuff.
• A flexible stand on the left for reference or tablets/screens. (Right now thinking of just using a monitor arm for this)
• On the right side 2 glass pallets, A long strip on top for raw out-of-the-tube paint with tubes stacked above 300mm x 100mm. Then below this a 2nd glass pallet for mixing and using 300mm x 300mm or larger.
• Hacking up 2 cool/warm adjustable LED lights to attach to the top of the frame with their adjustable arms. The one on the left has a magnifying lens with it so I can see details of the reference materials. The 2nd one will be over the mixing pallets.
• Adjustable angle for canvas mount, which can be vertical or facing up or down.
• Able to rotate painting as I’m painting to get different angles while painting, (upside down, on the side, etc..)
So its been since 1990’s that I touched Oil Paints. Tried some abstract paintings that confirmed what I knew, I’m a realistic artist, So I have been starting back up and working on Portraits.
Did some color studies 1st, then some eyes, then my 1st ever Oil Portrait. More on the way….
Miscellaneous 3D Prints and Source Files
Various source files for 3D printing. 3D prints that I have created that do not get a whole page on my site. Wide range of items will be included.
This Page will be updated over time as I add new ones.
3D Printable Terrain Maps that can also be CNC’ed. Most have elevations multiplied by 4.2 times to give height variations to view. Other wise they would just be a few layers thick total across whole map.
This Page will be updated over time as I add new maps.
Enjoy!
