we are lucky enough to live in a little cottage where there is a car port attached - it makes for a perfect outdoor studio space. i love being surrounded by our surfboards, bathing suits, and any goodies we’ve gotten from the property or friends - coconuts and bananas are always hanging around ✿ welcome to the jungle studio!

materials i use : currently, i am working mostly with acrylics. this is for a few different reasons - they are water based, quick to dry (i like to work fast!), and are easy to clean up. i use disposable/eco-friendly palette paper, and a combination of paint brushes and palette knives. in terms of trays, containers, and water buckets - i only use repurposed items in my studio (less in the landfill. plus, they’ll all get thrashed, so what’s the point in buying new?).

colors i always have : ultramarine blue, phthalo green (yellow shade), phthalo blue (green shade), cerulean blue, hansa yellow medium, cadmium yellow medium, cadmium yellow light, yellow ochre, burnt sienna, raw umber, cadmium red medium, naphthol red light, alizarin crimson, payne’s gray, zinc white, titanium white
