Out of all the art studio tours that I’ve seen on CZcams, yours is my favorite! You organized it beautifully!🤩
Wow!! That is such a wonderful compliment. Thank you so much 😊
I like studio tours.
Me too 😁
Hi Tiffany 👋🏼. Thanks for sharing your studio and for creeping us out at the end of the video 😂. Welcome to the CZcams art community 🙂.
You are welcome 🕷️ and thank you so much. I think I will really enjoy making videos of something I am so passionate (and obsessed) about!
@@tiffanydaniele.studio Join the club! We’re all nut heads of one form or another in the watercolour community 😂.
Yep. She got me too. Everything was going so well until then.😢 I love the ideas.
@@7WordsWorth Indeed 😄
I love your tips on how to use normal porcelain items as art catch-alls as palettes and brush rests.
Note: for all of you who are new to art, do not use the same porcelain items for art and food. Remember, paints are chemicals that are not good for you (and many are out right toxic).
Good reminder! Thank you for thinking of all our new artists’ safety.
@@tiffanydaniele.studio Pleasure 🙂
I, too, love using porcelain items for my paints. I recommend repurposing by purchasing at thrift stores instead.
@@melrmontez good idea!!!
@@tiffanydaniele.studio Indeed!
@melrmontez
I like to use dishes too,but mine mostly come from garage sales, thrift shops and the mugs without handles that I’m always dropping but can’t bear to part with. I also like to use the Stay-Wet pallets for beading projects. I put a piece of Velux blanket from a garage sale inside, along with the rest of the items. Then I can pop them in a bag and take them anywhere to work on in a spare moment. Oh, Oh! And don’t forget Dollar Tree; one of the best places on the planet for just about anything! 🙏🖖🤭
Thanks for the tip about using the pallettes for beading projects! I bet they would be helpful for embroidery too.
Your art board is so organised and beautiful!
Thank you!
Very nice art space, I like how you display your current projects on the wall while still working on them! I would love to see how you set up your watercolour palette.
Thank you! It definitely helps to have my current projects hanging so I can see everything I am working on. When I stored them in the corner or in a closet, it took a lot more mental energy to figure out my next steps. Now, I find great ideas popping into my head, which creates momentum and motivation to continue past the hard/ugly phases of the painting. Thank you for watching 😁
Fantastic system! Great looking studio complete with your muses! ❤🐕🐕🐈🐈🐍🕸 🕷
Thanks you! They are the best part 🐍🕷️🐈⬛🐕 Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing your great studio. I’m off to the hardware store for pegboard! Please continue making videos! One thing I’d like to mention to you is to caution you about storing markers vertically. It really does wreak havoc on them unless you remember to turn them often. Copic is so expensive. You don’t want those babies to dry out!
I have lots of ideas for future videos 😁 Thank you for watching!
Finally another lady artist that listens to metal!!! I love your dark aesthetic and skulls! Thank you for sharing your awesome studio with me!
Glad you enjoyed it ☠️🖤 Thank you for watching!
You have awesome talent for making videos 😮 I enjoyed every minute of your video, even the spider, which I really don’t like 😂. Your studio is beautiful 🤩.
Wow!!! Thank you for such a wonderful compliment! It is a beauty isn’t it. Sometimes I just sit in my chair and just enjoy the space while I drink my coffee.
Wow! What beautifully organized space. You seem to have a wonderful studio that allows you to devote all the time you spend in it creating instead of wasting time looking for what you need to get started.
Thank you 😊 Don’t worry, instead of wasting time looking for things, I still waste plenty of time looking out the window while I think about the next step in my artwork (which could also be called ‘procrastination’) 🤪😊
@@tiffanydaniele.studio No, it's called creative planning
@@deepowers3117 love it! I’ll never use the word ‘procrastination’ again ❤️
This has been so helpful. I’m doing a total reorganization of my creative space and, well, it can be overwhelming when one starts shopping for display/storage solutions. Thank you for simplifying things -and beautifully!
⭐️ One thing I might be able to contribute is that I created my own “stay wet” palettes out of cheap little trays from Amazon, Dollar Tree or Walmart. As long as there’s a “lip” on all 4 sides, and it’s about 1/4” deep, more or less, you can just use damp paper towels under parchment paper, and cover with Glad Press & Seal to keep the paints from drying out. The Press & Seal can be reused often, too. Not as tidy, perhaps, but for those on a strict budget, maybe helpful?
Thanks again!
Great idea! I will have to try your version of ‘stay wet’ palettes! Thanks for sharing another great tip!
loved all the hacks. than kyou! i'll for sure get the water cup holder attachment and the peg board, but in a natural wood looking finish
Glad you found it helpful 😁
duh! Yes of course a spoon rest would be great idea for holding brushes lol not sure why I didn’t figure that out before. Love the tour and the critters:) I would love my supplies out like that but I hate dusting so for that reason I hid them away. But your space is beautiful!
Thank you so much 😊
Using the dishes for storage is genius... Love this studio tour.
Thank you! I am so glad you enjoyed it 😁
I love how you have your studio set up. What room in your house did you use to set up your studio in? How big of a room is it? (I love your sweet, calming voice) 🥰
What a nice compliment. Thank you. My studio is in what most people would call the formal living room. It is the size of a regular bedroom but the bay window makes it look larger.
Brilliant ideas. Thank you.
You are welcome! Have a lovely day!
This just came up in my feed. Love how you have all your art supplies out visually. I'm primarily watercolor, but do a lot of mixed media and LOVE supplies... sadly once it's moved out of my working space, I tend to forget about it. My space is mostly windows, but maybe I can build a floating wall with a peg board!
That is exactly what happened with me in the past….I would forget about what art supplies I have! The pegboard solves this issue & I feel it opens me up to mixing mediums more. I experiment more and my creative brain thrives on this. Glad you enjoyed my first video! More to come soon 😁
Thanks for sharing the tips for organizing. I'm going to be building a shed into a studio this summer to get out of my tiny loft space which is very cramped for doing art. I love your studio and your animals.
I would love to see photos of your new studio when you finish it! 🤩.
@@tiffanydaniele.studio I'm hoping to do some videos to share the process once it gets going. I'm feeling a little impatient with it and want it to be finished now!! I found a spot in our backyard that I can fit a 10x16 Tuff shed to convert into my studio and I'm a little excited at the idea of it.
@@lisahaaseckle that is going to be a nice sized studio. I'm excited to see it!
Thanks!@@tiffanydaniele.studio
This is one of the best craft space videos I've seen. Thank you!
Wow! Thank you for such a lovely compliment 🥰 You are welcome!
Love it, so many great ideas!
Thank you 😊 I really appreciate it
Your studio is so well organized! I love it!
Thank you!! Something's got to be organized because my brain is often scattered 🤪
Hi Sketch Soup (Tiffany?). Jim from Madrid, Spain (a fellow artist and a New Yorker expat living abroad).
Welcome to the Art Community in CZcams! It's always good to see new faces! 😁👍
And... Great Studio!!! Lots if good advice and cheap ways of building it up! I wish I could have the space and money to do half of what you have but I can use some ideas for my own minimalistic studio... (money is a scarce resource for many artists... a shame, but true!). Don't get me wrong, if you can have a wonderful studio... Great! Use it! 😁👍
I just subscribed and I'll watch your channel in the future...
BTW - I'm primarily a wildlife artist (slowly exploring plein air and urban sketching too) in a mixed media approach using complementary mediums (graphite - regular & soluble, charcoal, Ink, Watercolor & Gouache).
Good luck and cheers from Sunny Spain!
😁👍😎✌
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! I really appreciate the support. Sounds like we have a lot in common. I am primarily a wildlife artist as well, but trying different subjects and mediums to improve my skills overall. Look forward to chatting with you soon 😊
Very helpful. Thanks!
You are welcome!
came for the tips, subbed for the animals
Love it! Thank you 😊
Lovely set up 😊 but your markers have to be stored horizontally because the ink will flood one end while the other end dries up. Just thought you should know ☺️
Good thing there are refills until I figure out how to store them horizontally and all visible 🤔. Thanks for watching & commenting!
❤love all your things to organize my room, is your peg from ikea. I hope you make more videos. Great job..❤
Thanks! My pegboard is from Home Depot. And, I definitely plan to make tons more videos! Thank you for watching and commenting. 😁
Thank you for the tip it’s been so helpful!
You are welcome!
I’m a pegboard freak, i have 3 huge ones on my walls too with all my sewing rulers (I have 50+ rulers) threads, cutters, etc…. But I love yours! I just realised I need to hang all my w/c paints up so I can look at them instead of having them hidden away on a shelf! Missed opportunity that shall be rectified this weekend!
I would love to see your storage ideas for sewing stuff! Have fun this weekend organizing 😜
I love the studio pets at the end of the video, always the best part of any space. Just a heads-up, Copics store best laying flat, else the ink will pool in whichever tip is pointing down and they’ll go gummy.
They are the best part of any studio! Thanks for the tip about the markers. I’ll figure out how to store them horizontally, but still see everything I have. Thank you for watching!
Also this is Terry from Pennsylvania I used to live in New Jersey I'm an artist you can use old coffee cups in your office too I do on my stands for all my coloring pencils and my paint brushes and all and when you go to Salvation Army look for flower pots design ones for the office for your art studio they make beautiful designs for the art studio all my paint brushes are in them
I have plenty of coffee cups! Thanks for the tip!
Thank you for your video. I loved all of your ideas for storage of your art supplies.
Awesome furry & shedding babies.🤗🤗
Thanks! I have one more dog, but she prefers to be outside. Hopefully she will appear in another video 😁
Hi, love your studio and all your supplies! I really like the way you use the items you picked up from Walmart. One thing, you may want to store your Copics horizontally. Not as convenient, but the ink won’t pool on one side.
@@TerryJ950 I thought about that with the Copic markers….when I come up with fantastic way to store them horizontally & so I can see them all, I will share! Thanks for watching!
Wow ❤
Several good ideas. My “studio” is one room-size miscellaneous drawer.
I’ve had a studio like that in the past. I’m blessed to have to space and materials I now have. Any studio is better than no art in our lives! ❤️
Hey Tiffany! Thank you for sharing your beautiful studio! 😍 I love how you have everything displayed ❤️ lol I thought I was the only one always looking for studio gems in the bathroom and kitchen section 😂
Love it! Great minds think alike 😆 Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great ideas! The exception would be the tarantula. I think that is one I can do without! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! Angel (the tarantula) is pretty mellow and prefers to watch me from the comfort of his burrow. I will definitely be sharing more ideas in the future.
Hi new to your channel love to see organization skills and ideas. Alcohol markers should be stored horizontally.
Thank you for the info! I will be updating that part of my pegboard once I figure out the best way to store my markers horizontally and still be able to see them all. Thanks for watching 😊
Well, the tarantula ... so there's that!
I'm about to buy my first house, and I really needed this video! Thanks!
Congrats on your first home 😊 Glad I could help!
Great ideas for storage ❤
Thank you! I will definitely share more ideas in the future.
Beautiful studio and great tips! Thank you for sharing! ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed the video 😊 and thank you for watching & commenting!
Welcome to CZcams! Love your studio set up!
Thank you so much! This is going to be so fun! I hope you continue to enjoy my videos in the future 😆
That looks awesome all together. Fun thing is that all of your supplies aren't the most expensive ones. It doesn't have to cost loads of money so to say. Lovely view outside. I hope that little snake stays inside . Looking forward to see more vids.
I am blessed with a beautiful home and surrounding farm community for sure! Zed (the cute snake) loves to look outside, but he definitely stays indoors where he is nice & warm ❤️
Very beautiful studio!
Thank you so much 😊
oooh I like the cup holder idea, nice
It is so helpful when you are painting. And, I am less likely to wash my brushes out in my coffee 🤪
Love your studio can't wait to see what your channel is all about hopefully we will see you do some art have just subscribed 😊
I appreciate it so much! I have all sorts of ideas for projects and I take requests if there is something you want to see 😊
How inspiring I’m just starting to design my studio. Thanks for the tips.,❤
You are welcome 😁
Love your studio and your ideas for helpful products. I have kept markers, inkpads and pens in waterproof tins to reduce drying out. I have read that dual tip markers should be stored horizontal. I really like that your supplies are accessible, but does dust collect? Thanks for sharing!
Thank you! Dust has never been an issue. I think that is probably because I use all of my supplies on a regular basis.
Absolutely LOVE your studio. I’m so sick of seeing stark white studios with no soul. I have black walls in the room my art desk currently lives in, and dark navy almost black walls in the other room it resides in when I get bored. Art pops so much better against dark walls! Your pegboard is literally what dreams are made of and gave me so many ideas for new storage 😍
Thank you! I love black walls; most of my rooms have at least one. I’m so glad you found some good ideas. I’m sure I’ll have a few more in the future! Thanks for watching 😊
Your studio is gorgeous, and I really appreciate the tips you have for storage as someone who struggles to stay organized. One thing to keep in mind, though is that reptiles have very very sensitive respiratory systems, so usually anything with fumes or heavy scents (scented candles, wood burning, and honestly I might even avoid using strong alcohol markers near my snake tanks, but that's probably a bit overkill) can be pretty dangerous to have in the same room with them.
Don’t worry…..any of those things you mentioned, I take outside to do in our garage. I’m pretty sensitive too, so I don’t do those types of projects in my house. Thanks for watching!
@@tiffanydaniele.studio oh awesome! Just felt worth mentioning because it's not always super common knowledge. Thanks again for sharing your studio with us
@@b1rdeee it is definitely worth mentioning! 🐍🖤
I’m loving finding all these new CZcams is coming on and sharing their art. It’s a wonderful community already and it’s just gonna get bigger. Looking forward to seeing your new videos. Your work looks incredible already from what I can see. Just a note I’ve only ever seen people store their Copic markers horizontally, that’s for any marker, including paint pens. Something to do with keeping the ink flow even. However, you may have your own reasons, just a thought. Love all your fur babies. I’ll even tolerate the colourful snake, but please God please give a warning sign before you show the creepy crawly. I have no arachnophobia and I nearly jumped out of my chair and I don’t mean it in a joking way. Not your fault you weren’t to know. I’m terrified of them. I’m glad you like them, but let’s just say we keep that thing in the background way way way not even visually noticeable background. Can’t wait to see what you do
So sorry my little Angel scared you so much. He mostly stays hidden away in his burrow so he probably won't make too many appearances. I am reconsidering how I store my markers after similar comments previously. I will definitely share if I come up with any cool ways to store them. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@tiffanydaniele.studio I love that you called that your little angel that made me laugh. I suppose it’s a creature only a mother could love. If they’re angels, I am seriously reconsidering heaven. To see my content.
@@jessbutterfly9801 LOL
This was very helpful! I’m moving to a smaller space and had already decided to invest in some pegboards. I appreciate your sharing where you got them as well as the accessories. I didn’t even know where to start, so you’ve saved me a lot of shopping around and decision-making time. Also, that’s a very clever way to store those paints. I’ll definitely steal that idea from you. Just one question: what’s the square footage of your studio?
Glad you enjoyed the tips! I believe my studio space is about 120 square feet, but the bay window makes it feel a bit bigger. Thank you for watching!
@@tiffanydaniele.studio Thank you for the prompt response!
i lvoe how you organized everything! i do want to recommend something. i wouldn't store my copic markers vertically, as it makes the distribution of ink uneven and can cause them to dry out quicker AND leak.
Hi, I’m not sure but I think fine liners are supposed to be stored top down, and copic markers are not supposed to be stored one tip down. They are supposed to be stored horizontally, just in case you didn’t already know. I hope you have a good rest of your day/night💖
Thanks for the info! 😁
Hi, what make is your sand coloured backpack please?
Bagsmart is the brand. I am pretty sure I got it on Amazon a few years ago. It is my camera bag, but it would be great for an everyday kinda bag.
How can you Store Art supplies in a pegboard when you are small? So, I think I cant reach all of them or only with a Chair and thats annoying. I'm 1,56 m. I Love the Idea of using a pegboard but I'm too small for it...
I hear ya! That is why I put the miscellaneous items that I don’t use as often at the top of the pegboard. You could easily move the pegboard down to desk level so you can reach everything. Thanks for watching!
Everything was going so right until that fucking spider...
I am glad you enjoyed it until then at least 😜 My family is not so thrilled about the tarantula either. But, they know how much I love ALL animals and put up with my 'zoo'. Do you like goats? I have them too and will have to include them in some future videos. Thank you for watching!
Oooh, I would ❤ tosee them! Farm animals! Just no spiders please!!😂@@tiffanydaniele.studio
@@ellenm7806 you got it! I’ll introduce my sweet goats in the next video 😁🐐
