Day Four of Project New Studio and also I’m at AUB tonight continuing with my wonderful beginners course so it’s going to be great to step away for a few hours and concentrate on them. Maybe today I won’t get over zealous with the heat gun and melt my clothes when my attention wanders…🫣🤣😳 #diyaccident #heatgun #meltedtrousers #idiot

We have help in the form of Mr Andrew Dobbins today and tomorrow to try and push the project on a bit. So today will see new cupboards and units to hold tech and 🤞🏻 tomorrow will be the new kitchen area so that students can relax with a decent coffee while they visit. The studio looks like nothing you have ever seen but I keep reminding myself that it’s gotta get worse before it gets better……… #studiorefit #newworkspace #upgrade #careerinvestment #artstudio #dorsetartist #newproject

I hope you have enjoyed all the tuition and demos I have brought you during October, November is even more jam packed with exciting opportunities to expand your creatives adventures. Here is the calendar for what lies ahead and don't forget, if you have any questions at all you are welcome to drop me a line and I will answer with pleasure, Ali #arttutorials✏️🎨 #arttutorials #paintalong #askalison #askali #datesforyourdiary #monthahead #tipsandtricks #selfemployedartists #selfemployedwomen #selfemployedlife #techniquetuesdays #techniquetuesday #artworkshops #learningtopaint

This is one of the more mad things we have done, rip out the studio, repaint, refit, reorganise, new kitchen area, new tech, rewire and then put it all back together. And with only five days to get it done. What a pair of loons 🫣🤪 #thankgoodnessforpracticalpartners

I have a big week ahead of me with a complete re fit of the studio that hasn’t been touched since 2019… I was hoping that I might have some help but Jack Russells have other ideas 😍🥰💜 #studiodog #studiodogs #jackrussell #jackrussellterrier #troy

I think the hens may be in full moult now 🪶🫣🥰 #moult #feathermoult #chickenmoult #hens #hensofinstagram #backyardchickens
