I think the humidity is more a pest with pastels - one friend of mine had to have hers taken out of their frames and fumigated in an industrial oven to kill the mould spores. Not looking forward to Wet season.... Diane, ANYWHERE in Cairns is hot!

It looks like it would be hot in the studio. Does the humidity play havoc with oils drying?

I do have enough room at home for my watercolour setup, but if I ventured out with oils (against my better judgement I am really liking them!) with BIG canvases it will be a problem with storage, smell and drying space. It's the work ethic these artists have that is so inspirational - especially with regards to entering competitions, exhibitions etc. At home, on your own, it's so easy to put a load of washing out to dry, do the dishes, watch a bit of telly..... the list of distractions and procrastination tactics are endless. I'll have to be my own task master! Cheers Cindy Hi Doda,

As you say, maybe next year. Are you short of space in your home studio? Or would it be for the inspiration and motivation that you would like to share a studio? Hey, that would have been so cool.
