One thing you should have as an artist..a change of pants. you never know when youre going or where youre going to get paint. It ends up in the darndest places..I don’t know how but I get it on the seat of my pants! So when I leave the painting area I change my pants, or I try to, or at least I just did that now.
Better yet, its better to have a smock, ideally one that covers your pants if possible.. So really you should have a smock among other things.
