Unclutter

Unclutter your mind as you unclutter your studio. Unclutter your mind as you unclutter your studio. This has been my practice ever since I started to paint. Always helped me appreciate my tools a lot more when I had to start painting/sketching once again. Made me realize all the great stuff I have in my studio and what all I could do with it. It also helped me not to purchase things I didnt need to. As many times I find myself extremely weak when I am at an art store looking for materials to paint with. I end up completely emptying my pocket. This way I am very clear with what I have and don't have.

How to paint your own Gin bottle while you sit at home and wonder what next to do. Early this  month, I along with Tippling Art & Gin explorers Club decided to create this video for all you practicing #stayathome. We all practice the concept of staying safe and keeping ourselves and our families and loved ones safe. Some of the things need for this are: Empty Glass Bottle Fevicol / Glue Old newspaper / magazines - cutouts or even tearouts Nailpaints (even your old dried ones before you toss them in the trash) Acrylic / glass paint (if don't have that its okay...let it be) Watch the video for instructions and incase you have questions feel free to ask me!

Surviving as an artist in times of COVID 19

Important to all of us is how are we surviving or more so how are we living our daily lives today. With this pandemic crisis all over the globe someone we know or care for or simply don't know but do care for is affected by this crisis. We are hopefully practicing #stayhome during these times. However, some of us are not that fortunate to #stayhome but have to go out to either take care of patients, deliver groceries or medical facilities. However some of us are fortunate to have the luxury of staying home and must practice staying home. Though this is the best time for artists, writers and all the creative people to research on our work, create new works, create new ideas, join a community group and if you are not part of one simply start one. You could also give out tutorials online or make a simple video to share with people who are also home and would love to learn something. This is a great time to introspect, excercise, research, cook, learn new skills, organise our stud

How to De-clutter?

Never realized the importance of decluttering until I realized one day after a frantic clean up session. Ah this feels absolutely great. I feel my life is a lot easier and things I need are easily available! Never did I ever realize until that great day. So here are some tips on how to declutter your art studio: Put things away  - most important go step by step. Once you finish a project, a sketch or a simple research, put them away! It isn't tough and leads you to the next step. Everything needs their home! Yes everything has a home and needs a home.

Best way I have realized to do it. Have one day slotted in a week to organize one section of your drawer and make a list of things where you would like to store them. If you don't have a storage area, invest in small drawers that
