Paint Station

If I only I had done this earlier! Not enough can be said about having an organised workstation. It's just more inspiring to have all the paints you need lined up in a row, and not having brushes lying all over the place. I used to paint on newspaper, but would never look back now.

I was going to buy a paint station, but then just decided to make one myself. So here it is:

It's crude, but effective. I just got some mdf board and sawed out a 50 by 30 odd size piece for my base. I then cut the two sides and back piece, plus a couple of raiser bars for the paint rack. They were all glued in place using that standard white glue. The paint rack was specially cut through a laser cutting company, with holes for the brushes and tools added. It can hold 16 paints, which is enough for a palette for whatever I'm painting. The rest sit in the paint box.

You'll note I'm still using old citadel paint pots. They have just lasted. Sure they're a little dry, but with a little water they've come back to life.
