Thank you for letting us into such an important space in your life. I feel honored! Leslie, yo have a place for everything, and everything in its place. The wonder of it all is that you remember where everything is! I have a ton of duplicates, because I forget where or if I have them. I am intrigued by your chair. I don’t know where or how to sit as I end up with back and neck pain. A mini video on how you deal with that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for this great opportunity to glimpse into how an artist organizes an important aspect of life!

Thanks so much! I constantly tidy drawers or cupboards if they get too messy, so that helps with remembering where everything is. Being in there everyday helps too. I have definitely had times in my life where I couldn't find things and bought them again. The chair is so wonderful; it keeps the stress off your spine, which is helpful. I highly recommend it!

For years i've had trouble finding mixed media art studio organization ideas that i could use as inspiration, yet NONE have come close to have this much variety of art supplies and tools. You basically have spot on to what i have in my space from painting to jewelry making, knitting, stamps, etc. THANK YOU this was a god send to me.

Oh, I love this!! We are about the same age and your studio reminds me so much of me and what I have and store. I’ve never painted with oils or acrylics but almost everything else you showed I’ve used and have. You have a lot larger collection of things because I’ve only been painting for about 6 years but my collection is still quite large and growing! I love the mishmash of furniture and all of the antiques and treasures that you keep. Thank you so much for sharing with us!! I love it! ❣️

this video reminded me of my love for painting. i used to paint and sketch all day every day, but i havent been able to put much time into artwork since i left highschool 8 years ago. sometimes i worry that i've lost it forever, but seeing your studio assured me that the embers are still burning. thanks and greetings from Texas

If the squeaking of the wooden drawers get on your nerves, a little candle wax or WD40 does wonders. I take out the drawer and just rub a piece of white candle over the wood that sits on the sliders - problem solved for the next 25 years :-) I am amazed how organized you are with all the supplies! Awesome! I use empty cigar boxes to store a myriad of little stuff (smoke shops give them away for one or two dollars). Stacked on top of each other in the book shelf they look adorable :-) And one of the bigger ones even serves well as a makeshift pochade box. I love to see organized workshops and art studios. It calms down my OCD and I also think it's a spiritual thing to see where creativity lives... 🙂 (The victorian travel 'office-box'!! OMG!!) Love it!

I’ve been following you for about a year now and I just realized you learned weaving! Weaving is my primary form of art, but thanks to you, I’m getting into watercolors as well. It’s been really good to get out of my comfort zone and do something completely unrelated to fibers. This studio tour makes me feel a lot better about having art supplies for lots of different mediums. Thank you for showing us your studio!

Oh good grief! I don’t have quite as much art supplies, but have a little bit of what you have! Never know when you’ll need stuff! You’re my kinda gal! Thanks for the peek into your studio!

Thank you, Leslie. So Inspiring. Sometimes I think I should hang all of my art supplies, used or not, up on my walls so I can see them all. Each has a memory or a hope of 'Someday' I love all the colors around me. I'm really prone to 'out of sight, out of mind', but too much 'in sight' can be overwhelming, too.

My original solution: To have the majority of my art supplies stored in boxes within shelving units. Clutterd order, so to speak. I now realise there is still too much visual clutter... your solution is brilliant.. seeing your space has resparked ideas and repurposing solutions... I am excited to get started. I am embarking on a whole new adventure... and revamping and cleaning my studio space is a fabulous place to start. 🎉

Thank you for sharing your wonderful studio with such creative storage ideas looks so neat and tidy. I have collected a lot of art supplies over the years, since I was an art student in the late 60’s early 70’s and I am still collecting ! Not nearly as organised as yours.

It's such a nice feeling to have an organised art space. :) When we lived in the US I always had a closet, so it was challenging here to fit it all in without one. I recommend looking around for furniture you're not using, or on FB Marketplace to find the perfect storage solutions. IKEA is always nice too for storage solutions. :)

Love the studio. Like the guided snooping so fun. You do very good organizing . I call stuff inventory not hoarding. My family was giving me guff on what I keep. So I did modify on some things. I like styro meat trays for pallets with acrylic so I just toss it after use. Saves so much fiddling and washing . And small flat tins. It you have a work shop studio or any place we create their is going to be stuff. I find that people that are minamelists just borrow other people's stuff. Or they don't do anything other than pride themselves on negative space.

Leslie- great space and very organized. I too have a studio like yours…in my mind. I enjoy all of your work/lessons. Totally off art, how to fix your door that won’t stay in one place. First take out the center hinge pin. Using a hammer, on a hard surface outside, hit the pin midsection to create a slightly bowed pin. Reinstall the pin in the hinge and walla no more door creeping.

I loved the tour!!! Thank you so much ❤

OMG, the IBM punch cards, my first job in 1967. Our art hoards are similar, though mine more scattered, painting in the bay window, printmaking in the basement. What I would give to have it all in one place. For me, substitute spinning and dyeing for weaving, add fountain pens and ink to the writing boxes. My BFA is in photography, so also add vintage cameras and film processing for alternative photo processes to the mix. BTW, it is your fault I just went down the tiny palette rabbit hole. Currently, I am mostly watercolour painting. Too bad collecting art materials is just as enjoyable as painting! 😂

@LeslieStroz

Ай бұрын

Goodness, you sound like you love as many art forms as I do. I took a weaving class in grad school and was hooked. I think if my HS had been a bit "more" I'd have discovered 3-D arts like weaving and ceramics sooner and chosen a different degree. Then again, the tiny painting and watercolours are so much more achievable and I love the intimacy and immediateness of them. I hope you're loving your tiny palettes! New video tomorrow tempting you with more, haha. :)

I always enjoy watching/viewing other artists' work spaces, because it's nice to see what kind of organization things they have, how they store things, and so on. The 2nd floor to our house divided in half: 2/3rds of it is the master bedroom suite, and the other 1/3 is again, split in half, length-wise: one side of the room is my husband's library, and the other side is my "art room". It's...extremely cluttered right now, due to depression and now, having been diagnosed with inattentive ADHD, and I had no drive to want to clean/tidy up until very recently, so, I'm working on improving those things. The walls to our upstairs has slanted walls half-way up the wall, so I'm very limited in what I can get for shelves and storage units - they have to be shorter than 32" (+/-). I've got two old computer desks up there - one of them has been painted white with some purple accents, and eventually, that's going to be the colour theme to my art room. The other computer desk is L-shaped, and will be painted the same way, once I get to that corner of the room, and currently, that particular desk is going to be dedicated to any of my fibre art stuff (knitting, crocheting, tablet weaving). My main art desk, which is technically a computer desk too, but more aimed towards for kids) is big enough for me to work at and do art at (painting, drawing. illustrating, bullet journaling, etc.) and it fits perfectly into a little nook that I have up there, where there's a window overlooking Lake Champlain (although, you can't really see it unless you're standing and peering over!) The desk that's currently painted white and purple, will be primarily my scribal desk. I study and re-create medieval illuminations, so I've got what I call a "scribal desk" that houses some of my paints and gilding tools. I also have a retro-looking toaster oven on there, for when I make my polymer clay things. I dabble in all sorts of things, and slowly, but surely, things are coming more together. The biggest obstacles right now is finding storage things that can fit against the walls, or can fit under desks and not get too much in the way of things (or at least, not stub my toe on when I sit at my desks), and just getting things cleaned and tidied up, and putting things into their new home/place in my art room. Even with it currently looking decent, it still looks a little cluttered and I have some drawers piled higher than I would've liked, but it's the best I can do for now 😅

I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with ADHD and getting organised-- I've been there! One thing that always helps me if I'm feeling too overwhelmed is to set little tasks. One box a day. We don't have to tackle an entire project in one day. The little efforts soon add up. I find that Facebook Marketplace has lots of good furniture, and there's always IKEA too (great for unique spaces!). I hope you're soon back to working on your medieval illuminations and gazing across at the lake in your cosy space. :)

I have a couple of questions: Why do you wear red glasses when you paint en plein air; and where did you find the tiny "standard" black watercolor palette? I gasped when you opened that drawer! I have toms of watercolor palettes, and some are pretty unique, but that tiny one I've never seen before. Lovely art room, you should be very proud! 🎨 🖌

You can do it! When we first moved here I only had two suitcases for everything (clothes, art supplies, etc), so it was bare bones. We shipped the rest of our things a year later so I had some duplicate items I’d purchased! 😊

El título me hizo acordar a un tema de bridge city sinners... hermoso lugar de trabajo...tus pinturas son excelentes y tu estudio está a la medida de lo que hacés... hermoso todo!!!!
