Case for oil paint tubes

It had recently become difficult wrangling all my 64 tubes of oil paint, so I made this case to hold them a few days ago. I got the idea from this web site. I bought a sketchbox easel, smashed out the innards, and glued some sticks inside to hang the paint from. It works great and I love it!
It took an assload of time - about 6 hours of sawing, sanding and gluing.

More about Ponytail painting

I just wanted to share some more details about my painting of a girl with a ponytail that I finished yesterday. It took 26.5 hours; I know this because with this painting I used an electronic kitchen timer to "punch in" and out when I was working on the painting. I ended up painting almost every individual hair on the girl, using a script/liner brush, the smallest brush type available.

I briefly thought about ironically titling the painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring".

Ponytail painting is done

My painting of a girl with a ponytail is done. It took a lot longer than I thought it would - about 25 hours, spread over 3 weeks. That makes it one of my most laborious paintings to date.
