How to Create a great studio when you have no space

[@daytonagreg8765]

That is a great idea.

[@amisvambe]

As the person who needs to hear this wisdom, this is absolutely brilliant. Thank YOU!

[@elisabethseeger5837]

I live in one room- no closet but i use my dining room table with an Edgepro easel and eat my meals on my office desk- ceiling lights are too bright so I photograph my art outside in the open shade under the carport roof

[@ms.christian7792]

Oh my GOSH! Not only a great idea, but learned a new term/item. I have been painting for a million years and had never heard of a taboret... not much room under my rock, lol

[@JimLongCO]

What a great idea - then the spare bedroom walls can become your gallery

[@christinegalysh7433]

thank you great idea like the part about attaching the wooden easel to a wall all the best

[@marshaflorom730]

Love this video! My favorite! This is my new years resolution!

[@marshaflorom730]

I loved seeing this again;! Thank you for the AMAZING book!;. Happy holidays!;

[@angelaspaintings]

I paint in a small corner of the "office" of the house. I'm lucky if my husband doesn't rub up against my paintings and my palette! I wish I had a closet as big as that to do this! Genius idea! Our closets are SO small and stuffed.

[@daniellealomoto9771]

Great idea thank you!

[@dreadnaught3894]

Did this myself back in 1986 - worked a treat!

[@thomassutrina8296]

Great Idea. Taboret often have wheels so a folding chair (some are comfortable) thus both can be put in front of the easel and a simple one or two clothing rods can be mounted on the wall mounted shelf uprights and matching rod brackets

[@Mmothership68]

All great information. Been thinking of a wall easel for a while now

[@joannmiller4034]

Beautiful idea, thanks for sharing that

[@vinyavarghese]

You are like a teacher I never had !! Thank you for sharing this information and many others. I always felt like I was one among your students listening to your lectures even though I never enrolled in any ! ✨ for that I am forever grateful.

[@StefanBaumann]

You should try some of our coaching

[@donaldachisholm3771]

Thank you so much, this is incredible information for those who are struggling. Thank you for sharing your gift 👍

[@schopenhauer1962]

for years I wanted a studio, when I was living with my grandmother. I had to paint in watercolor, but I wanted to paint in oils. Now I have a studio, but I made it into a fishroom ... so I paint in watercolor again .... (and acrylics).

[@ladonneshuler3815]

Great idea!

[@chocolatcats]

Brilliant and very educational man!

[@StefanBaumann]

Thanks

[@aphillips2511]

I love this!!! I think it is brilliant for some with small homes, Also if they are concerned about a mess hit the wally world for a cheap 20 dollar indoor/outdoor 5x8 rug. It can be rolled up when you close the closet. Thanks again.

[@vranzi9270]

"Who wants it, makes it happen, who doesn't want it, makes up excuses" 😉 --- I live together with my boyfriend in a little 1 bedroom apartment (380 sqft) and I manage to paint at home 😅 having a guest bedroom would be luxury for us. I paint in a little corner or on the kitchen table and don't mind to put away my stuff every time I'm finished.

[@t.bunker2511]

Many freelancers and home-based professionals who are space-challenged set up offices in underutilized space closets like that, even in hall or apt. foyer-closets. There are quite a few on-line resources for how-to-do that. For privacy -- or security -- you can put a small padlock-and-hasp on the accordion doors to keep people out.

[@StefanBaumann]

yep

[@hazelcoate9203]

great idea

[@owaskin78]

Ohhh thank you for solving my situation

[@Jawaidification]

Awesome!!! 😊

[@TimGreig]

I have a studio (and I use that word carefully) outside in the cold/heat/wind, with one wall, a plastic roof and a folding table. It's not ideal but it works...

[@theroomnumber5210]

I live in a tiny apartment and trying to make a studio space. I don't have guest bedroom closet but I can still use your ideas. For me, lighting seems to be the problem. Can you tell me what sort of lighting is best for painting work?

[@salcarusomusic]

Wunderbar ... !!

[@StefanBaumann]

Unshackled Spirit Thanks

[@jeffhildreth9244]

Closit ?

[@anonymousfellowindian]

Thanks

[@bertmurillo1535]

I did make my easel for under $30 dollars/ from wood at home depot/ is very steady. just three pieces, about 3 inches wide by 1 inch thick and 6o inches tall. then a centerpiece I took from a cheap tripod easel and attached to my new one in the center to hold the canvas and as a flat piece about 6 inches wide, to hold brushes etc. and finally a square piece about 10 inches wide the width of the easel to put your pallet, Hope I gave you and Idea

[@StefanBaumann]

Check my new Video on KZbin #Studio #oilPainting

[@salcarusomusic]

I just did this exact thing {a few months back } , when I moved into a new apt. Great idea S.B. !!

[@pw6titanium]

Stefan Baumann great stuff stef....some daylight, 5000K fluoros above and you could paint the whole thing middle grey. An extra would be a vertical palette next to the canvas so your colour mixing will be under the same illumination_no problems with changes of value. cheers

[@StefanBaumann]

+Unshackled Spirit Send a photo of it

[@StefanBaumann]

+Alba Whiteman Great idea

"that stuff can be taken into a garage" -what garage?

[@gillinacook1477]

Oh that’s a great idea but here in the U.K. our houses are not built with closet’s or little rooms like that. 😢 I stand in a corner of our dinning room but I’m currently saving up to convert my garage into an art studio. I’ll just stand in the corner for now, Iike a naughty little women. 🤨

[@SnowS162]

It's interesting idea but I wouldn't do it. I am worried about the lack of a window ventilation in a closet. There is no direct window in a closet and it will fill air in the bedroom with toxic chemicals. What about the turpentine, mineral spirits and professionsl artist paints that have toxic chemicals that can cause cancer. I don't want to put my family or myself at risk...and with oil painting, it's too messy and difficult to come off without turpentine or mineral spirits. It can go everywhere. And the smell will be very strong. It just seems wrong to paint in your bedroom....And where would I put my clothes?

[@StefanBaumann]

My dear Friend, I would also recommend that you not drive your car because the chemicals that come from your car idling at a stop light are far worse. besides driving your family around you are putting your family at risk. and don't start with your tap water, chemicals in your food, and so on. Be afraid even though artists have longer lives than almost anyone in history. as for your clothes, it's about time that you lean out of your closet most of the clothes in your guest closet are out of fashion and need to be donated ASAP.

[@NightVSN]

i use my clothesdresser its below breast height and i just put a trashbag over it ^.^

[@bio-plasmictoad5311]

I paint in my bedroom, always have for about 15 year's. You don't need a big studio, but having one would be nice.

[@SnowS162]

Hopefully, not with oil painting.

[@lisalovelylpa]

It’s great for non oil based paints , I would not want to use oils in the closet !

[@atlantic_love]

LOL, it's not THAT bad, unless you have allergies to the aromas. It's the turps, stuff like that you would need ventilation for.

[@dogloverjb6873]

theres always someone in the audience who can't stop talking....

[@daytonagreg8765]

“Design Pickle”… because every other name was taken.

[@mightymac1005]

Students sound rude and arrogant... they don't deserve you

[@Mmothership68]

I disagree. Who ever said "not me I take over the house" has the right idea.

[@justtubingby129]

Of course, it's better if you work in acrylics so you don't have to smell the oils while you sleep.

[@StefanBaumann]

Nothing smells worse than acrylics...

[@justtubingby129]

Well, in either case, they will stink up the bedroom.

[@atlantic_love]

@@justtubingby129In your opinion they will. I've never had a problem sleeping around them. I find their smell comforting.
