Three legged Stool

My Grandfather Archie made three legged stools by the dozen. If the leg's not set right you tip over. Our Art can be like the leg's on a stool.

One leg is the Paint and canvas or other material of our project. You need to understand how the paint or drawing material work together. What the paint in relation to the canvas is or to the painting.

The second leg is place or studio. Yes even the kitchen table or back bedroom can be your studio. The place of your creation can be hectic or peaceful. Some people need the busy and messy where others need everything clean and neat. I like a place with my radio where I can listen to the oldies and paint away.

Now the third leg is doing and creation. We so often have the biggest problem here. Creation, what or where, how much and what kind. That is why many artist take pictures and file them as a "morgue" or art file. Then you can say I want to look at rock or ducks or mountains. It is having the back ground and the time as well as the files to do the actual creations.

Well kids get out your stools and paint away, Keep your brushes wet.
