Andrew - you are speaking my language, my friend... I have just completed my dream Art Studio... just celebrating 72 years and is finally here. I have been an artist and maker for most of my life, primarily in wood, in particular, but not exclusively, a toymaker with a mission and overarching desire to enchant, young and old alike. Over the last 5-6 years I have felt a gravitational pull toward putting color on canvas. So I am a novice and this arena...but it seems to me the real doorway to making art, is ones call or passion to do so. And the space one creates for oneself, wherever and whatever that might be, is, I believe, so key to one's ability to unleash a creative spirit. I have worked in large and very small spaces , and although I now have the resources to create exactly the kind of space I have dreamed of, I have always sought to create in each instance, a space that energetically inspired. I have come in at the other way too...from taking a space that seemed impossible and turning it into a space that deeply inspired me. This is always one of the very first things that I do in designing any new space...reflecting on how I will be and how I would be wanting to move in this new space... Not only functionally, but emotionally and energetically. So I've done a lot of thought on this, but before going forward with my tentative plans, I thought I would peruse KZbin with the query of "setting up an art studio"... I've looked at numbers of videos, with gratitude for those who have taken the time to share, and have garnered good tips from some, but none have resonated with the kind of thoughtfulness and heartfulness as has yours... I have subscribed to your Channel, so thank you for taking the time to share what has made a difference for me, and what I am sure will make a difference for many others. Around six years ago, my wife and I spent some memorable time in New Zealand...if we should ever visit there again, and that's not a remote possibility, as her birthplace is Australia, I would love the opportunity to visit. Blessings be, Michael Arbuckle

u r not just an artist, but a handyman, an economiser and a genius !!!!

[@artthatsnice8817]

an artist has to be all thise thing to make an impact in the world

[@andrewzanas9387]

Stumbled upon your channel a few days ago, Andrew. It's the last day of June 2018 and coincidentally it finds me setting up my very first studio space. I learned a lot seeing and listening to this episode. I'm 74 with many interests, and art is a new one. There's little time to get it right. No reason we can't make the studio both functionally efficient and inspiring too. I'm finding art goes hand in hand with photography, writing and psychology. Like a palette of colors, they are disciplines that lend themselves to being readily blended. Each contributes to the stories we seek to tell. It makes sense to keep our research and our library of books, computer programs and tools together within easy reach.

[@AlonzoTheArmless]

Excellent video and info. Your dad's sculptures are terrific.

[@jimpettyjohn2114]

Thank you for making time to put together all the step-by-step videos. As a casual painter for years, watching your approach has been a real inspiration to me. I hope to be stepin’ up my painting with your help. Thank you!

[@wladapoljakova7006]

This really made me happy! So well-thought through, organized space AND an entertaining video on top! Love it!

[@geniegoldberger9440]

You mentioned that one requirement for the objects you keep around for inspiration is that they put a smile on your face. I kept waiting to see you smile and you finally did for a sec at the end. You are an amazing artist and you inspired me today, hope to see you smiling more on your videos. Thank you .

[@DCweldingAndArt]

Just love how professional, but thrifty, crafty, but humble, talented, yet learns along with his audience...you, are def the guy that inspired me to dive deep into painting. Thanks for that andrew! I've grown years in a short amount of time due to your videos.

[@lindaashley6576]

Thanks Andrew for making all things art interesting and giving us the down and dirty about things most artists don't share like setting up an art studio, brushes, paints and necessities.

[@reglindiseckhardt9777]

This video clip is SO welcome. I have had to move 5 times in the last 18 months so I am really impressed how easily your systems are relocatable. Thank you so much. My friend and landlady was totally interested in the ventilation section. I think we are going to implement this in my room. Now I just have to find out how to store my finished and "in progress" canvasses.

[@patriciaingraldi4719]

I love your opening statements stating how your room needs to inspire you from the minute you walk into it. It's so very important. Thank you

[@bdup159]

Your videos are helpful and I love how your studio tour is different than all the other studio tours on youtube, you key in on points and not just showing off all of your materials but rather give tips on how to set up and what works for you.

[@simsim7assan745]

Andrew, i just came across your channel! and i just want to say something. your channel is everything that i need. covers absolutely every aspect of art and artist's life, thank you and very well done! wish you loads of success!

[@julianachandler2975]

Looking at other artist’s studios never gets old. I really appreciate seeing the change from large to small studio! Also, I realize that I should be thinking more about ventilation.

[@soloyo010]

Loving your channel Andrew. I hope one day I have a studio close to something like yours. so far I got the inspiration. please keep doing this videos, they are pure gold, specially for self taught artist like me.

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Will do Alejandro, thanks for the comment! :)

[@stivenpetoshati7112]

Fiiinally a new video. I was missing your teaching of art. Keep up the good work.

[@Auldstone]

You are the first artist I have seen who has recommended Kautzky as a resource. I have learned so much from his work, and from yours, Andrew. You do top quality work. Thank you for giving us an inside look at your painting procedures and your studio.

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Kautzkey is pure gold! Love his work... Thanks for the comment.

[@elizabeths174]

You are right!!! everything in it's place.

[@IlanaPolakiewicz]

Andrew, your channel is the best. Thank you for all the tips and inspiration. Good luck in your new home.

[@Gizapowerplant]

One of the best channels, informative and inspirational. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience, talent and time. Much appreciated!

[@marionlyon7349]

A very appropriate guide for me at this time when I will be reorganizing my art space. I like the idea of zones, especially. Thank you!

[@leojablonski2309]

Love your new digs in New Zealand. My Dad was there for R&R during Ww2. The majestic country is all he spoke of during his 4 yr.tour.. Your dog and cat are a must.. Thankyou for your excellent instruction. Hiyo from NJ

[@winkle7771]

Wow! you really helped me get a grip on my feeling of being overwhelmed. Thank you. I have a small space although it is larger than the small bedroom I was forced into with Art, sewing, scrapbooking, and crafting. All in a very small room that also took on storage for other things. It soon got so bad I could not even walk in it. Things are getting better. Thank you Andrew!

[@teresadavis9557]

Same here

[@MhatreJiten]

nice, really like to watch tour of your backyard!

[@avrilretief732]

Awesome, thank you :) you have the best backyard EVER . Wishing you and your family everything of the best in your new space :)

[@anismamun1353]

The painting you did of the Wanaka mountain is one of my favorites. Great work, MrTischler.

[@jeanethnaftaly]

I watch and follow many artist, but you are my favorite, i enjoy every video. Thank you.

[@DanyaAnderson]

Thanks for this video. I had to move from large professional spaces in the US to a tiny NZ bedroom as well and my creativity has really taken a hit. I needed this attitude adjustment.

[@maldoori238]

As always Andrew this is wonderful! Congratulations on your new studio and all the best your new move.

[@trishclayburgh]

Love your animals. They clearly love YOU! Thanks for this - I'm going to share it with my partner. We're renovating our home right now and part of the plan is to incorporate a studio space. Currently I paint in the dining room and the light is challenging. Thanks for the inspiration and the things to consider! Again, I'm watching you EVERY DAY. You rock.

[@leonormartinez6378]

Best video on setting up studio for oil painting. The exhaust fan was my biggest takeaway. Thank you!!!

[@anthonydimichele837]

I am just now setting up my painting studio. in my printmaking studio! Quite a challenge, but your organization of a small space is inspirational! Love your work, you are a master!

[@maryriley6163]

You are a fabulous artist and your tour of your studio was the best I've seen: informative, to the point, entertaining and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your time and space and kind regards from Ohio.

[@anneburke2405]

Happy to see you settled again, can't wait for your next upload. It was interesting seeing your studio setup, I'll reassess ours. Thank you for your generosity & dedication, you are inspiration personified.

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Thank you Anne!

[@germaicanlady]

Wow! That's an awesome space you created from that little room!

[@edithwolf9985]

I'm looking forward to seeing you again ... and on new videos .. warm greetings from Lower Austria

[@giovannadesantis9204]

Thank you Andrew! I truly have learned so much from your videos and am so grateful! ❤

[@ElinWinblad]

Great video! I finally started trying oil paints after finding a set of 10 tubes for $2 at the thrift store! Loving it so far! For my fan I used an old window fan thing that has a reverse setting to push air out. Not sure how it will work next winter as I worry while running it will leave my studio too cold or cost too much in heating since it pushes it out 😅

[@TheCoookieCrumb]

I love that you shared your first oil painting in this video! I'm curious to know how long ago you made it? - Your current work is absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm using the Internet to learn how to paint and your channel has really been a gold mine! I'm learning so much... tones, composition, asking forgiveness - not permission. All top quality tips and tricks. Hats off to you!

[@VickiParfenow]

Thank you for such an in-depth look at your studio . Very helpful.

[@lloydrobert6182]

Thank you for this beautiful video. Your presentation style is very impressive, and your integrity shines through. It reflects in your work too.

[@beverlymolander9297]

I love your practical info and brilliant sense of humor. There is hope for creating a studio I want and love! And I am smiling at your advice about being surrounded by what makes you smile. Immediately thought of the dinosaur-type sculpture I created in college. It's up in the attic and I miss it. I am going to name it! 'TIME'. IT'S ABOUT TIME!

[@joanlewis4697]

Felt like hearing from an old friend again. Am in the process of downsizing myself and you have made me think more clearly.

Thanks again Andrew. My Dad passed a few yrs ago and I moved to northern Ontario from Vancouver to be with my mom and brother. I'm setting up a studio in my Dads garage. I showed my boyfriend your videos and he is making me a wall easel, now we have the final key, the lighting. Thank you so much for making these videos. I now can paint full time. Loving my life...

[@Tore1972Wisdom]

It´s definitely worth the smaller space, contra that amazing view outdoors into the most beautiful nature. I wish we had that here i Denmark. Looking forward to the video with the light, because i´m on the crossroads myself what to do next.

[@wayaheritagehomestead1070]

love the window ventilation unit! currently I have a fan on reverse in mine and I turn on the overhead fan as I airbrush.

[@billknudson6620]

Great tutorial. You may have posted it Jul 3, 2017, but it is still applicable in 2021! I'm setting up a new home studio, and am trying to work out what the best way to turn a spare bedroom into my studio. This video was a big help. Thanks for the input.

[@sherrysusan]

Wonderful words of wisdom ... just had my basement finished this year, a 28 x 40 space, and my studio takes up about half of it, there is a fan vent over the open bathroom area, (surrounded by shoji screen), now after watching this, I should have had another installed right over my painting area, will check into that thanks to your tips ...

[@tunaiibraheem7680]

Wow what a lovely studio ! I think you did a very great job please enjoy it ,keep going ,I liked your first painting ...

[@judyhollinshead6593]

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Cheers Judy! Regards to WJAS!

[@conniefi]

Thank you for informative video. I recently move to my sons house and have a small back space in the basement for my studio. I can’t work there because if he clutter. I am planning on doing a clutter free studio zone in a few weeks. The space is one third the size of my former studio. I do pottery, jewelry, and resin painting. This video helps me set up functioning zones. Thank you.
