    A tip for oil paints in tubes and how to store/arrange them for easy visibility, I saw a someone use binder clips on the ends where it's crimped over, to effectively add loops that could then be hung from pegs. As you use the paint in the tube, roll up the end like toothpaste and reclip. Gives a nice visual for when a paint is running low too.

    • @puffins_apothecary
      @puffins_apothecary Před rokem +3

      i used to be a traditional oil painter and this method works great, just make sure your caps are on nice and secure so they dont leak. I used command strips on the outside of my painting cabinet, and hang the clips off of them. Iv used this method for years without any issues.

    THANK YOU for talking about the chair! A Herman Miller chair is absolutely worth the money. I'm lucky enough to work from home and my employer let me borrow one of these bad boys. Makes all the difference in being able to paint for a few hours versus only 30 minutes before getting uncomfortable.

    Totally agree on the chair. I've had one for about twelve years now. Best money ever spent. My best upgrade to my Aeron has been my Atlas headrest (3rd party addon). Look it up, makes the chair oh so comfortable when you want to lean back and relax for a few minutes.

  • @MrVolvobloke

    When I was young I didn't have anywhere to paint, so I used to paint lying on the floor with a cushion under my chest for support. I got so used to this that now at 55 I STILL paint lying on the floor with a cushion. Keeps my back dead straight and I've never had any back issues. Additionally it's great for elbow support.

    @Gnarlf Před rokem

    Investing in a proper chair is absolutely the right call! Thanks for pointing that out.
    I don't know what your chair costs, but if it is good long lasting quality, then it is most certainly worth every penny of it.
    I got my DX Racer King Size almost a decade ago. During that timespan i would have had to buy several of the cheaper office chairs, becuase they always break down after 1-2 years andfrankly, they are not that comfortable at all anyway.
    In contrast, my chair is still holding strong. It sure looks worn and well used, but the cussins are still top, the technical parts are working well and I can sit on it propery supported.
    Yes it's a big chunk up front, but it will pay out in the long run.

    14:28 Clip the tubes with binder clips on the crimp end, then you can hang them up in your sightline in a row of tacks or hooks, or even a magnet bar like you'd use in a kitchen for knives.

  • @Finkeldinken

    A nice way to have paint tubes up on the wall is to use bull clips. Clip them on the end of the tube and then hang them on a pegboard or something alike. A lot of watercolourists use that method.

    My biggest challenge is finding a reliable and durable chair. I find most chairs I have bought last 1-2 years tops and then the bottom welding job fails (the piece that allows the chair to flex backwards).
    Outside of that I still am seeking a magnifying glass. Preferably one that has a flexible pose body & a vice grip for attaching to a table.

    Absolutely agree about the higher desk level meaning that you force the body to retain a good posture. I have injury-induced scoliosis, and I found painting at a conventional desk to eventually become incredibly painful after a time; I put a dining chair at the kitchen counter (I live alone, so I’m not inconveniencing anyone else) and it’s much, much better. An underrated tip!

  • @RodneyRockwell

    Hi Jon! For a way to store your Scalecolor Artist paints on the walls you can use a bulletin board and thumb tacks. On the back end of the tubes you put those lil black binder clips, and they’ll hang nicely.
    You can make a bulletin board that suits your space without too much difficulty from a lot of what I’ve seen.

    I have a lower lumbar back injury that can be pretty nasty pain wise at times. As I’m renovating and building a new dedicated mini painting room I was wondering what to do for the desk.
    I too like a higher desk for painting and use a sit stand desk currently. It’s cheap and pretty wobbly so I don’t want to use it again. That means I’m thinking either build a dedicated desk or buy a more expensive sit stand one.
    I’ve considered a chair that can adjust the height for a stationary desk. But I just don’t know if that’s the best as I’m trying to do the “keep legs 90 degrees from butt to floor”. But perhaps that might not matter so much.
