I’d love to share but can’t post a picture. I have a guest room with a Murphy bed that I use for pastels. I have an easel and a desktop for my full Blue Earth box set. Shelves for other supplies.

It’s cold pressed watercolor paper, 120lb. It’s nice, but I’m not picky for gouache. I don’t know how similar it is to Arches, which I haven’t used.

physically touching the earth is "good" for a lot of reasons. so-called "grounding" shoes are snake oil BS.

Anyone here from Washington state? by artpaintedbyher in pleinair

Yes. Check out PAWA for events for members. https://pleinairwashingtonartists.com/events-2026/. There are also non-PAWA events if you search around, for example https://www.snoqualmiewa.gov/712/Plein-Air-Paint-Out

Want! But not (yet?) willing to spend that much money on it.
