Moving into my NEW ART STUDIO 🌟 How I found it, the application process, + a tour!

Yes I did find my new studio on Craigslist lol. Thank you to Squarespace for sponsoring this video! squarespace.com/kelseyrodriguez
I am BEYOND EXCITED for this new studio space! I've never had a large space to work in before, and I've never had a studio that isn't where I live. BIG changes coming to the way that I work, the scale at which I work (big paintings coming soon???) and hopefully some productivity benefits too!
Let me know what you'd like to see in the space and if you're interested in more studio setup videos!!!

@aleseaux ohh shit....I swear I wrote Aesthetic lmao I don't know how it took me that long to realize. No no no I swear I wrote it right haha

[@sketchesofshay]

"not wanting to be perceived" felt!! so happy you found a space that works for you! excited for upcoming new studio vids✨

[@ChantelleArts]

loving the shag hair cut, it really suits you! I have one too and they're so fun 🥰

[@mattieleerootandpine]

So exciting!! I absolutely LOVED my studio space when I was in SF. It is nice to just have a space to CREATE and gets you out of the house.

[@ScottHebertArt]

THE NEW STUDIO ERA LET'S GO!!!!!

[@ScottHebertArt]

I am sure you have tons of ideas but one tip I have for you is to make it so when you have to film your painting setup you can do it with the minimalist amount of friction. It took me a long time to get my setup together but now I am I can hit a literally couple of buttons and I'm recording&painting at the same time. Its seamless and really amazing. If I had a big open studio like that I think I would make a rolling cabinet with a tripod/camera arm mounted on top. You could keep all your film gear in the cupboard below and then the camera would be plugged into an power bar thats mounted on the cabinet. You could basically roll it out when its time to film and then tuck it away against the wall at the end of the day. In my ideal studio I think I would have a film cart and then also a paint supplies cart that housed my paints, papertowels, brushes, and palette right in front of me at all times.

Omg congrats on the art studio !! I’ve been following you for awhile and I’m proud of every milestone you cross :D !!

[@Lisbif]

Thank you so much for being transparent and kind ❤ you’ve inspired me.

[@inthemakingca]

The move to a larger studio for you makes sense and is very reasonable. I didn’t realize the space you were working in was so tight. You will have all sorts of creative opportunities opening in the new studio. Outlets! Haha 🤣 more outlets So relatable ❤

First time visiting your channel but so excited for you. A new studio is fabulous ❤ enjoy!

[@KelseyRodriguez]

welcome to the channel! I've got plenty of videos for you to explore, and there's a free Discord community linked in the description if you want to get to know other artists

[@A.hunterart]

Wow I love all that light! My creative space right now is a 7ft by 7ft office space in my apartment so sometimes I chuckle when people complain about their spaces being too small because I’d love even a normal sized room to work in. But the no outlets thing I definitely wouldn’t be able to live with. I’m not an oil painter though so I make it work. But I cannot pick up anymore creative hobbies because I do not have any more space to be able to store stuff. Even though I desperately want to learn to paint with acrylics.

[@patchysourkids]

SO excited for you!!!

[@moranababic8450]

Love this video! Your new space if wonderful 🥰 thank you for sharing

Hello. Can you make a video about setting up lights and what type of lights you use?

[@21kittensArtStudio]

This is so amazing, I'm so happy for you! In no time, you'll be creating more and more art, you'll see. Also, thank you for bringing us along this journey! 🙌💙

I just found your channel the other day when looking for insight on starting my own small art business, and after watching multiple videos, I can already tell you really deserve this so congratulations! 🥳✨

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

Oh wow that is so cool & I love 💕 your new studio!!

[@erniecelindsey8418]

Cool space, congrats on getting it. I can't wait to see your easel set up. There is nothing better than the right creative space!

[@CrazyStreaksMari-Chey]

Your studio has so much potential. The plants really make the space more inviting, but that could just be my preference.

[@cordialgreetingsart]

Is Mel, the friend you used to do a podcast with? I noticed she recently got a new studio too. I wondered if there was an inspiring connection by any chance? Very happy you both have a new space to create. Your cat is gonna miss your studio.

[@kassiewoodworthstudio]

So excited for you!!! Congratulations!!

I haven't been here for a long time and I must admit that you look very nice with your new hairstyle. We are waiting for new films from the new studio ☺

[@janinafisher101]

Looks great, Kelsey! I think it was a good call to get your own private space with those lovely windows. A shared art space is cool in some ways, but the one you looked at looked a bit too exposed with not enough natural light. I recommend some lighting for your painting area - LED bulbs that are 5000 Kelvin (recommended to me - it is cool light) to get the kind of light to produce the correct colour in your paintings. Have a grand time in your new space. And walking distance too! All this and a bit of exercise in the great outdoors!

[@beatbuildersstudio]

Great space. Im glad you were able to find something.

[@kelpums]

yaayyyy❤❤❤🎉

you look so happy! congrats on the nice space.

Oh sweetheart, I'm so happy for you! I'm in the Bay Area too, East Bay. I hope you start doing classes! I'll definitely make the drive for you! 😊 Congratulations!

I couldn't hear the road noise at all. I think you're going to have a great time making videos in that space!

My studio is in the basement of my house…. Barely any natural light walls pained black… as a goth I don’t want to burn to a crisp lol 😂. Nice studio, enjoy your new space

[@ariela_]

Where is that from at the 11:48 timestamp? It looks like Alex drawers but bigger

[@KelseyRodriguez]

it is the Alex drawers from Ikea yeah! they come in two versions, this is the shorter squatter version

[@timothy790110]

Excellent, looks like an amazing space! Geting an external studio is a game changer. Is it north facing? But Housemates? Didn't you live in New York with your boyfriend? That first option, the 12? Useless. You need privacy, to many distractions, and it was very expensive. I just got my studio here in Old Town, Stockholm and the application process was HELL, just like yours, But I got it!

[@KelseyRodriguez]

The new studio is east facing! So bright direct light in the morning and indirect light the rest of the day. I was living in NYC with my boyfriend but the summer of 2022 we moved to CA, and about a year ago we moved into a group house! I never thought I would like having seven housemates but it's a really good time. Also YES studio 12 was tempting but I think wouldn't have worked out well. Your studio in Stockholm must be gorgeous!! Never been to Sweden but it's on my to do list! Thank you for watching

Hi Kelsey, I emailed you about a business podcast I run!

[@Oumphthassgudpipe]

Kelsey, I was invited to an "Art business summit" through what looked like your website email and I'm just wondering if it's legitimate. It claimed to have other high level arts but nobody showed up to today's alleged zoom and then links to "exclusive content" pushed me to a locked Facebook group that I'm no being let into.

[@KelseyRodriguez]

There is an art business summit I'm speaking at but it's happening next week, and I haven't sent an email about it yet! Unsure what you're talking about here, but the event I'm actually a part of is linked in my recent community post!
