The New Studio space

Here we go, the new 600 sq foot studio, 50 sq meters for all you metric heads, empty (except for some of the previous tenants stuff) and pristine. I got my gear in there yesterday, and today is organizing time! Photos will come later, i will post some pics of all my studios and compare them. Till then, this is what it looks like.

More from the masters studio!

Here are some of Sorollas tiny alla primas, done on whatever seemed to be at hand. THese were amazing, and great so see, especially after seeing the enormous pleine airs at the Prado. (No pics). His house was great, almost noone there, and you could take all the photos you wanted. Me and Nate even painted in his garden (complete disaster, ill post it later anyway) One amazing thing was that when we went to Toledo to paint, we could go to the same places where he painted from, and we did. Future posts will show them. It was such privilege to paint, and then go back to his house to see how HE painted it.

Sorollas Studio in Madrid

I went to Madrid to see the Joaquin Sorolla show, one of the most inspiring events Ive seen in my life. To see the enormous body of work he did, and the huge pleine air paintings he made was breathtaking. Unfortunately the guards where quicker than roaches in a drain when I tried to sneak my camera in to take some shots, so no dice. However, at his studio, I was free to take as many pics as I could, so here are a few.
