Foldable Lamp for Drawing Table

Here’s some updates on the artist table that I was working on.

I found out that for so many occasions, by the time I arrived back home from work, it had already become night time. I did not feel the inclination to proceed with any creative artwork then because the lighting was not really bright enough.

So I decided to make a lamp for my drawing table. I figured out that none of the lamps available in the market were really suitable for my purpose. My design must:

  • cater for the sloping table top,
  • the lamp must come attached with the table,
  • must be bright enough,
  • the bright lamp must be adequately shielded from the eyes,
  • the lamp must be adjustable and foldable for easy storage, and must not interfere with the sloping table top,
  • can be switched on/off easily,
  • must be safe to use.

The following pictures shows the various stages of its construction. It is completed although I would want to improve the finishing a bit further.

Nowadays, I found that the lamp had become useful not only for close artwork, but also for my other activities like sewing a button for my trousers, writing, reading, and tinkering with small diy projects.

Attachment for the leg stand of the table lamp. The table top (shown in vertical position) with hinges (shown at the top right) is shown opened, revealing the insides of the table. The long bolt ensured that the lamp leg stand does not interfere with the workings of the table top.

Behind The Scenes – Creating a Painting

I have just completed another painting – after keeping away my brushes, colours, palette, and easel for some time – due to my shifting house.

As it is now, I have continued on my half-completed painting and have successfully completed it.

So you can see that some of the scenes from the beginning were from my old house. The last two pictures were done from my new house.

Well, here they are in pictures:

You can see that I chose a picture which I have snapped on one of my journeys and have used it for my painting. My desk, adjusted to slope slightly downwards and another side table for my paints, water, and brushes are visible in this picture.

The first layers were light coloured or even without paint, with the whites of the paper showing through.

After that, the more dense and thicker colours were added on, including the darker shadow areas.

Almost complete. I would hang up the painting for a few days and try to see what I could do to improve on it. I found that with just a few pieces of wire and paper clamps, I could conveniently hang it over another framed picture temporarily and observe it every now and then until I was satisfied with it.
