A perfect container of creativity. And often times on your hands too. Before and after the semester. It may not have burned your nostrils, but there was a definite odor. The best friend to any painter. Makes pretty paintings, stinks like ass. Tools aren’t just for shop class. So clean, so new. Like being transported to another century. Cue “Unchained Melody.” Which eventually dried into something magical. Sharp pencils for life. Oh, the possibilities. Now would be a good time for that Artist Soap.2. The woody aroma inside a new tin of charcoal pencils.
3. The ashy smell of charcoal crayon dust covering your sketch book.
4. The sickening blend of metal, chemicals, and paint inside your Silicoil container.
7. The supposedly “odorless” chemical stank of Turpenoid you used to clean your brushes.
8. The refreshing scent of mint and lanolin in The Masters Artist Soap.
10. The nauseating essence of egg tempera concoctions.
11. The piney smell that emanated from your DIY canvas frame.
12. The exhilarating scent of a freshly stretched canvas.
13. The homey smell of antique easels inside the studio.
14. The earthy essence that coated your hands while using a clay wheel.
16. The oddly satisfying damp smell of paper covered in water colors.
17. The pristine metallic odor from a container of X-Acto knives.
18. The noxious fumes that escaped each time you opened a container of rubber cement.
19. The fresh pulpy smell of an untouched pad of paper.
20. The oily remnants of paint mixed with sweat after a hard day’s work.
21. And the sweet smell of success at the opening of your art show.
