    12:45. Concluding remarks
    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 am very glad that my video helped you. I wish you the best of luck with your interior design and lighting. The latest development is that the LED lamps can be supplied in the correct Kelvin temperatures. So choose some who is not too warm in color temperature.

    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.

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?

      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.

    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.

      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".

    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.

      It sounds wonderful. A baby, a studio and a new life. Wow.

      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.

It took a lot of trial and error for me and once I finally got to where I was happy with art studio….I moved. BUT, getting things figured out over a year will make it SO much easier to set things up again! I wish I had this video when I was struggling finding the right light bulbs. Didn’t have any overhead lighting in my previous place so I just brought home buckets and made my own lol!! I struggled the most with finding the right bulbs so thank you!!!

    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.

      Hello. Yes, storage space can be a big problem.
      My situation is that I am actually about to move to an apartment in the middle of Copenhagen. I won't get as much space as I have today, and within a year I will be setting up a new studio, that is slightly smaller than the one I have today.
      I will make a video about that, at that time. I would very much like to hear about your experiences and ideas organizing your studio.

    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.

    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.

      Hi. I am sorry to hear that you are having such severe problems. Allergies are a terrible thing, but I don't know much about how to make it all work. If you have the opportunity, I don't know where you live, I would try an outdoor studio. So it might only be possible in the summer. I hope you find a solution. Good luck.

    • @skora-theoldguy
      @skora-theoldguy  Před 7 měsíci +3

      Hi Thank you for your comment.
      You have to create a studio where there actually is space. A small studio among many other things is better than no studio at all.
      My point is, that the more time you spend getting everything ready, the less time you spend on painting.
      But I know, I am very lucky to have so much space in my home ... children has moved many years ago. Best wishes for good painting time from me to you.

Swear I´m going to start cleaning and getting some orden today...please keep on on doing this videos.

    • @skora-theoldguy
      @skora-theoldguy  Před 6 měsíci

      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.

    Rigtig god. I liked this it supports what I am doing already. I used 45-4700k full spectrum fluorescent lights and are very close to full spectrum. And the leds are great in strip lights. The room colour also makes a difference. I have log walls and its yellow affects the colour so the lights help off set this.

    • @skora-theoldguy

    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.

    Thank you so much for all the great tips. That was so helpful! It was a pleasant surprise to see that you have a piano in your studio as I am currently considering having a piano in mine so I can continue practicing. You made the decision easy! I also had a long list of items/furniture to buy for the studio, but after watching your video I decided to buy only half and see how it goes. I only paint during the day, but will definitely come back to your video if I needed advice regarding the lighting. Stay creative and stay blessed 🙏♥️

    • @skora-theoldguy

    ❤ Dear Sir, Thank you for this excellent tutorial. I appreciate your organized, methodical and comprehensive approach to teaching how an art studio should be established so as to serve the artist well, in terms of efficiency, practicality, comfort, health, and as a creative catalyst in the moment and over time. It is obvious that you are a very skilled, professional artist who as learned much over the course of your career, solved many problems along the way, and continue to look at your work in an holistic way that is never stagnant but ever evolving and done for the benefit of your health, your students and, most certainly, the observable end result in your paintings and the joy felt by those who ultimately have the pleasure of living and working alongside and/or in the presence of your creative works. I love your way of living and working as an artist. I plan to invite my 10 year old granddaughter to join me in the fun of making art. She has just started to learn to play the piano. We, too will have a piano in our studio. It would be very nice to learn the name of our teacher. You do not look so old to me, perhaps, it is because of my perspective...I turn 65 in 12 days. What an absolutely thrilling first lesson, I can hardly wait to listen again with my granddaughter. This time, I will be taking notes. 🎉😊

    • @skora-theoldguy
      @skora-theoldguy  Před 7 měsíci

      Hi Anita. Thank you very much for your long and interesting answer. I hope you will enjoy the piano as much as I did. Good luck to you and your granddaugther.
      I am 70 years old, so I am probably an old now ... painting keeps me young I hope. Greetings from Denmark.
