If you are painting acrylics, designing your studio is a little easier, than if you are painting with oil. However when it comes to designing the art studio, the two mediums are, not that different.
I have been painting with acrylics for many years, and acrylic colours made a great workflow possible for me. In this video I will show you my studio setup. I will demonstrate and explain my thoughts and ideas regarding organizing an art studio for acrylic painting and give you my best tips for a well-functioning optimized studio for painting.
Organizing an art studio is a personal thing. We are all different. Some do not have much space, and may not even have the opportunity to create a permanent workplace at all, and others may not have the finances to invest in expensive lamps and equipment. Most of all we all have very different personalities, which make our work routines very different.
It is therefore difficult, if not impossible, to give an actual fact sheet for what a studio should look like. Ideally all studios must be different, and in this video I will show you my studio setup hoping to give you inspiration to create your very own workspace optimized for your specific needs and routines.
It is an important room. When you paint, it is in the studio that the magic happens, in this room you have your biggest victories and, unfortunately sometimes, also your biggest defeats.
My studio became the entrance to and an important step towards being able to live the life I wanted ... I wanted to paint, and make a living as a painter.
Few of us have the opportunity to create the perfect studio, compromises must be made ... as they say: "perfect is the enemy of good". Therefore go for developing a good study, which can become the starting point for a good process and many, many good paintings. A setup that you constantly can develop and fine tune towards ... the perfect studio.

I found this very helpful. I used to have an art gallery/studio outside my home but moved into a small house and I’m working now to set up a studio in my upstairs attic space. I have WAY too much stuff. I’ve been watching lots of videos for inspiration but I found this much more helpful than the typical videos of studio tours that aren’t really set up to work the way a professional artist actually works.

Hello. I am very happy that my video has helped you, and I very much hope that you can minimize your many things to just what you need when you flour. I myself am very bothered by the fact that I buy things that I think are "delicious", but which just distract me. There are simply too much that constantly distracts us, and therefore I have become very "hard" about not collecting things that are not important for the painting process ... if in doubt, throw it out. Good luck.
I really enjoyed both your videos :) Please continue making more! Just a few ideas I'd love to hear you talk through your approach to in case you're looking for ideas for future videos: choosing the right color, what material to paint on, more about how to know when a painting is finished, what your keep on your cart with wheels, how to build the regular habit of making art, how to find and develop an individual style... can you tell I'm excited? Ha!

Thank you very much for your thoughts and excellent ideas, which I am very happy, that you send to me. I'm actually already working on a video, where I touch on several of these topics. It's great for me to get input on future videos. Thanks!
This was extremely informative in helping me make decisions about my small studio.
We found that neither of us ever sits and watches tv nor do people come over for dinner much so we insted turned our living room and adjacent dining room into our music and art studio! We named it Ohso Nice Studio and even made a sign for outside. I just subscribed to your channel. Your art is fantastic. I enjoy your perspective and voice while I make art. Sending love from Buffalo New York

That sounds like a good strategy. But it's a pity that not so many come over for dinner .. Ha, ha. It sounds like an interesting place you have. Good luck painting ... and playing. I send love back from Copenhagen, Denmark
In my case I just have to make the best of the little space I have. When you have 2 clutterbugs living in a tiny house with not much more than a path through the house, makes studio space a real challenge. Yet I've spent many enjoyable hours at my easel tucked in the corner of the "studio" with table and shelves next to it. The over flow of art supplies is scattered through out the house. Eliminating years of collected what-nots is not my favorite activity, but must be done. Wish me luck.

I have to pack it away often so I can use my table for my paid job & eating! Can’t wait till I can dedicate permanent space to my art.

I live in a house, but the only rooms with good light are my bedroom and dining room. However, because I live alone, I can set up the dining room and leave it unless I expect a guest. Then, when I need a dining room, the set up quickly and easily stores behind a door to the room that has about foot of space that no one can see with the door open.
Very good tips thank you very much 👍🥰👍🥰✨👏✨

I can't describe how much I love this video! Thank you for this as I'm sitting in my studio shed after taking a break from being out here since Sept when I broke my leg. My studio has been trashed since then. I have been painting in a corner in my kitchen. Uggg, that's not ideal, to say the least! I'm very excited to get back to my studio, and I appreciate your video.

Thank you. It is great to hear that you are on your way back to your studio. I'm sorry to hear you broke your leg. You write that you have painted in your kitchen ... the most important thing is that we paint, and if it can be done in a kitchen ... then it is better than not painting at all. But enough space is nice. Good luck with your "come back project".
I've found that cheap tool cabinets on wheels work for me. A couple of drawers and a cabinet on the bottom. Pallet sits on top. They contain everything I need. Different cabinets set up for different crafts. When finished I can park them up under my workbench.

Thank you for that lovely insight into your wonderful studio und all your tips. I really like your cheerful soul, it‘s a pleasure to watch. Greetings from Germany! My husband and I recently removed our large fish tank to make space for a permanent painting corner for me which I am very happy about. Since my little daughter is eleven months now, I can finally start painting again in the evenings. In the process of finding the right furniture, I also came to the conclusion that not everything needs to be moveable - I only have a painting cart which I haven‘t moved yet though.

Hi Susanne It sounds wonderful. A baby, a studio and a new life. Wow. I wish you the best of luck with it all. Also remember that furnishing a studio is a process. Do not despair if you do not find the right solution in the first attempt. It will evolve as time goes on. It's been a long time since I had small children, but I remember it as if there wasn't much time for anything other than being a father. So put your precious hours to good use in front of the easel .. and have fun.

Boy, did you nail me down…lol. I’m just setting up my studio after moving and have gone from an studio away from the distractions of the house to a basement studio with limited natural light especially compared to the old studio. So setting up, organizing and prioritizing has been slow and frustrating BUT, I’m almost there. Thank you for your insight as I know I’m on the right track. Heading into the Canadian winter I’ve been careful about setting up lighting that I can easily adjust to my needs and surroundings. I also have a fairly large window for natural light that is going to be very useful for days with sufficient sunlight. Your thoughts on dust collection is very helpful and an issue I seriously need to address. I like stuff but need to be realistic about how much. Thanks again for the wisdom.

Thank you for the tips especially, on lighting and storage. Acrylics do emit something because I cough constantly when I use them. They are artist quality, too. I am allergic to cigarette and wood smoke and some cleaners like Lysol. I instantly hack my head off coughing when I come in contact with the slightest whiff of any of these things. With the acrylics, I was told it was probably the the dryers in the product I am reacting to. Lysol and other cleaners use pine which I know I'm allergic to. Coughing signals your airway is being compromised. If you can't breathe, you die. I have several air cleaners in my place all the time and open windows and turn on fans when I paint.

I sooo agree about single layers/levels when organizing supplies. I've always had a weird thing about not stacking different things on top of each other. I also have to see my stuff. Not having everything in bins or boxes. I like when opening a cabinet or drawer it looks like a mini art supply store. LOL! I buy affordable durable caster wheels to add to the bottom of furniture pieces I may want to move around my studio or just to get them in/out of the building when moving or for repairs in the space. Very nice video, info and art studio. I luv seeing other artists spaces! I think we need many more tours of artists' studio spaces.

Thankyou this was excellent advice. I have saved this to listen to the part about lighting. Right now my studio needs a clean out and that dust rule will guide me!

Ha, ha ... cleaning i not my thing ... but I do it. Good luck with the Hoover. Reg. light ... remember that daylight is more or less the best if you can get that in the studio ... it is also the cheapest.
Thank you. Very informative

Fabulous thank you for sharing your tips and your insights into creativity. Living in the Caribbean are light is amazing -very little time change! Having a secondary outside studio can also be challenging.

Hi. That was a sad story. A clean studio is a very good thing, but not everything. Try not to quid, when you want to, stay in front of the easel for 30 min. or more and paint something ... anything. Give the studio a chance ... I wish you the best of luck.
