Hi guys! I'm from Goiânia, Brazil

FredSantos

Hello every body. My name is Frederico, I live in Goiânia, Goiás, Brazil. In the center of the country. I used to draw, long time ago. Always wanted learn to paint. I hope that this moment has arrived.
Now I'm procrastinating, instead to start to paint.Actually I started but i'm stuck.
This my version of the Carder's easel.

Hello.  Very nice easel--and good specs and photo shots of it!

I drawed this one.  I used some tips from the Carder's videos to the shadows. It came from a digital image from the internet.

Hi Fred

Nice drawing, Fred. Welcome to the forum.

I made an easel exactly as Mark showed in his video and it works a treat. Much sturdier than the spindly, rickety thing I bought from the art store and much easier to assemble. I also made one of his colour checkers which I used for the first time today on a still life. I'm really pleased with the accuracy I'm achieving in mixing colours.

Cheers

@tassieguy, beyond the easel I also made a color checker, a shadow box, a brush holder and a proportional divider. I believe i made all this stuff not just to help me to paint. I believe i was procrastinating most of the time. But I started, soon I'll show here my first try on oil.
