The Artist's Wardrobe
Doesn't everyone have their favorite shirt, or over-shirt, pants or jeans that they just LOVE. They are broken in and fit just right. They make us feel good and they look good on us. The item is our go-to wear. And then there comes the day, when paint is dripped onto it.
Oops. I shouldn't have worn it in the studio!
My Artist Wardrobe Expands
Depending on your paint medium or craft, some spills or oops moments and a meeting with your favorite wearable -might- be saved if you can get it washed immediately. More often though, I find the painted "flower" on the shirt I was wearing seems pretty permanent. Thus, the shirt becomes "a paint shirt".
But over time, it seems that I have a closet or a drawer designated as "Paint Clothes". And yes, that storage space is starting to over flow.
The Usual Art Oops
The sleeve/cuff in the paint is a mini disaster that can spread before you realize what has happened. Been there and done that.
Sure, I have an artist apron, but doesn't that dropped brush always hit you wherever the apron isn't?
Paint seems to have an attraction to my favorite clothes. I can just walk through the art studio and there is an oops. I should have invested in a painting smock.
