I don’t know how you guys get on with the wintry season. I enjoy sitting near to the heating, rolled into my wool blanket and having my cup of hot choclate or my glass of wine there, reading a book or watching a Netflix series on my tablet – that’s great on cold, dark winter days!! But talking from the artist view, I suppose winter months are the most challenging if you’re used to paint with colours.
Often, it starts to get dark outside already at 4:30 pm here in Northern Germany. Some days I come home from work and have only one (!) hour to be productive as possible I can before I have to turn my little lamp on to get some extra light. As you noticed, I like to work on the floor when I use acrylics. I can focus on many parts at the same time and mustn’t lean down to grab any colours or to take a snack because it’s all right there beside me :).
I have to say at this point that I really don’t like unnatural light when working with colours – they appear in a kind of understrength and unreal way (like viewed through a filter). Compare with the Gallery photos made during daytime – it’s completely another picture!
Nevertheless, weekend is on the corner – best time to be saved for all the creative projects requiring daylight :)!
Wishing you a good time and stay safe!!
