Since I don't have a dedicated studio I need to store my paintings somewhere in my house.
I have been keeping them on the mantle piece, and they do look fabulous there, but now I have too many so need another solution. This is what I came up with...
All I needed was a piece of wood from the garage, a pack of long nails, and a hammer - and now I can store 28 more paintings!
If you need to store larger paintings than this you could use wooden dowling instead of nails, and simply drill holes to fit the dowling.
I never knew that they took so long to dry, but I love your little storage rack and the fact that you can see them too - adds lots of colour.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lucy. The whole process takes even longer - after varnishing they need another 6 months to complete the drying process! It's well worth the wait though, I think the results from oil painting are amazing.
DeleteYour storage idea looks brilliant and you get plenty of time to enjoy them if they take 6 months to dry.

Thanks Ali, I have lots of room to paint more now too :)
DeleteThat's a nifty drying rack and how brilliant that it cost so little to make!
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy, I love to solve problems and I love a bargain :D
