A vintage dresser for the studio

Mar 1, 2026

Hi Reader,

It’s a rainy Sunday on the Oregon Coast, which feels like the right kind of day to bring home a (new-to-me) vintage dresser and reorganize the studio.

​

This is the only nice corner of my studio right now. The rest looks like chaos.

​

William Morris said, “Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”

I think that’s a good rule for studios, too. I’m working on it!

And speaking of working on things, I wanted to let you know about a workshop I’ll be teaching in May:

Mood & Meaning in Watercolor Lincoln City, Oregon | May 15–17 | $330 members / $360 non-members Full details here.​

Hope you have a great week,

Vinita

P.S. I’m in the middle of filming the next Watercolor In Flow video, all about painting water and waves. I’m curious: what’s your favorite method for painting water? And what’s your biggest challenge with it?

I used the analogy of magnets that I played with as a kid. No matter how hard you push the opposing poles together, they won’t go. That’s what resistance feels like, not laziness, just a force…

Watercolor Notes:Resistance with a capital R A recent plein air painting Hi Reader, Here’s a very random analogy for you, so stick with me…growing up on a ranch, there were always a couple of cow magnets in my dad’s animal-medical kit. I played with them as a kid and no matter how you tried to push the opposing sides together, they just wouldn’t go. There was this invisible force field of resistance between them, and I could feel the push against my hands. (In case you’re wondering, cow…

The Game of Painting

Watercolor Notes Hi Reader, I hope your May has been a creative one so far. I took Ellie to the beach yesterday and she dug a big hole. What she really loves is rescuing a small stick from the depths of the sand. If I find a stick and push it down into the hole she’s already dug, the game really begins. It’s serious work and play at the same time. She has to problem-solve and that’s what she loves most. This is similar to the reason why I enjoy watercolor painting so much. Painting is one…
