Studio Containers
I think you can learn a lot about an artist by looking at the vessels in the studio that hold paint, brushes, and random stuff. I looked around my studio the other day and was impressed by the assortment of tofu, yogurt, and crushed tomato containers filled with color for the latest project. But truth
