You're the only KZbinr I get excited about when I receive an alert! Great video!

[@maldoori238]

Very useful, informative and inspiring. Thank you Mark. I have just rearranged my small studio , put my studio easel on the wall which made a huge difference to space and to my comfort.

[@MarcellaSmithVegan]

This was GREAT, thank you! When I first started watching your videos, I thought it was so weird to have your studio so dark, but over time since I have watched many of your videos and instructions, I NOW GET IT!!! This is probably a missing link in Many artist's work! I know for sure for me, this has changed my future as an Artist, Thank you very Much!!!

[@bekind6196]

Thank you for the time you took on this video. For the last year I have been saving for and given gifts of your products in order to setup my studio so that I may follow your instruction. My studio has been a problem because of the white and natural light that floods the space. For other art mediums it has been great but I need to be able to transform it when I paint and it needs to stay consistent. I literally just bought my brushes today that you suggested and was talking to my mom about the issue with my studio. Low and behold you put out this video. Again thank you. You are so generous with your knowledge.

[@reefprayerresin]

I always feel like I’ve come home, when I watch your videos Mark.

[@_.blue._]

That studio looks really nice and cozy but the room he's in might have the most calming walls to look at

[@Fair-to-Middling]

I think everyone is different in what a good home studio would be for them. I have a window in my room. Not so sure I would want to paint surrounded by all that black. It would depress me! I like my natural lighting as it reflects how the painting will actually look in a regular room when finished.

[@kirkwilliams2127]

I agree, all black nd dark would drive me nuts. But I see why for sure. I'm going to try and do something to darken my studio but make it movable.

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

I'm with you, TT. I used to have an indigo massage studio, rose quartz bedroom, and the co-op art studio I'd joined had pale gold walls in the studio and classroom areas, and medium forest green in the front gallery. Black would be too much for me.

[@aida087]

I agree!! Nice setup but I need my natural lighting and brighter space!!

[@CharleyWang]

你的视频风格就像明星，我喜欢你的画室氛围，很讲究，很值得尊重，当然重要的是你的画，还有你的讲解，天气不好时，我也试试像你这样去画，因为，天气好的时候，我更喜欢外出去旅行，在旅行的时候画写生，这种快乐的感觉，观众也会喜欢。Your video style is like a star. I like your studio atmosphere. It is very particular and worthy of respect. Of course, what is important is your painting, and your explanation. When the weather is bad, I will try to paint like you. Because, when the weather is good, I prefer to go out and travel, and when I travel, I will paint, and this kind of happy feeling will be enjoyed by the audience.

[@laurelantur]

Your channel has the info I have been searching for, about glare, about color matching, the different tools. Thank you so much!

[@leeroest3890]

Hi Mark, You have set me into a spin! I've watched lots of your lessons over past couple of days, after having found myself frustrated with what I was trying to do having all the wrong ideas and horrible paint. I am now being transfixed by your wonderful teaching. I am ready to have a red hot go and thank you so much. I have ordered your products and will open them with enthusiasm, wish for once I lived in the U.S.! I would come to the live classes! My husband has watched the color checker video and we have only to make it now. Once again thanks a bunch, Lee :)

[@dez3332]

Love the videos, all of them. Can't tell you how much they've inspired me to get back into oil painting. One thing missing, though, in this video is ventilation which is the toughest part to do, if you ask me, especially in a small studio. Thanks again for the great videos, instruction

[@tiwantiwaabibiman2603]

I'm an artist in ATX. I did not know this company was here! I'll definitely be checking them out! And, Thanx for the studio set up info!

[@pavoniaarts2179]

Thank you for another informative video Mark. Would love to see a video with plans for the construction of the smaller shadowbox. I have limited space and all of this is super helpful.

[@forresthaag2842]

Well thank you for that informative studio lighting primer. Now I simply have to blow out my garage ceiling as the attic adds an extra 7 feet of potential height for mounting light fixtures. My lovely wife already thinks I'm nuts for putting our two cars outside and in their place, arranging my easels, rolling palette tables, rolling chairs and other studio eratta. This is getting expensive but I can wait to receive your brush holder as that tool does not involve demolition. Cheers

[@michaelgallo4354]

I've been waiting for this exact video for years!

[@stallgastgivargarden1224]

Thank you Mark, you just gave me a great idea for lighting my studo. Love your videos!

[@midnightchannel111]

You showed the ceiling light several times, but not in place on the ceiling... I still don't know where exactly to place the light to be sure I do not have shadows cast across my canvas as I paint. I'll take a look at your other videos, perhaps you address this independently in another post... Thanks :-) PS My challenge is finding a set up for a temporary studio, ie, using props to modify a room for a few weeks to paint there, but easy to break down when I leave... After ai see if I can find a separate video on lighting, I'll see what I can come up with using the tips you share here. Great channel, thanks!

[@IHS333]

ALWAYS great selfless giving of tips Thank you so much

[@bebop54]

that was a great presentation & advice.... you know it kinda reminds me of frank masons' set-up (back when) at ASL ....

[@cookiemcboingboing2657]

operating on gratitude, thank you for all the great videos!

[@bboioioioingg]

This is so timely. I've been painting with a window of light behind me and its really been messing me up. I shift in my seat and the glare is reduced by my blocking the light and I suddenly realize that the painting doesn't look how I thought! Thanks for this.

[@CRyan71]

It's a pity he doesn't answer people's queries here. I am about to take up painting as a hobby and this is so interesting and useful. Never would have thought that lighting is so important. Not sure how I'll set up with out a studio. I'd planned just a corner of a room but now I'll have to consider lights and dark. Any tips will be appreciated.

[@belindahugheslifestyle]

Like the light box, shadow box and arrangement of tables and easel. The black would be a bit much for me.

[@farmerfox3332]

sir... your content is awesome! I am glad I found your videos!

[@tusk242]

Massive Paintings, I wonder what years 20 years, if more and more people are going to downsize, not be so burden with the UP keep, and HIGH costly TAXES, will be going smaller. Shadow box LOVE that Idea. I still have not made mine. Still trying to arrange my room to be my sleep area and studio. At moment have LOTS of tender plants I put out doors, but inside. Problem is the room has only ONE outlet. TRYING to figure how to extend and have it safe. I rent . Material Space savers have any? ROOM is 7x7Ft. on window and one door, and Full bed size. . Use as my chair, and Slip under for table that is used for paint, brushes. paper toweling. but still feel cramped.

[@claygreen4723]

The best and most informative channel on youtube and everything is free. Amazing.

[@saltandiron3379]

Any ideas for ventilating your room for oil painting?

[@Andrew-ii5qm]

Thank you for the videos, i have learned alot.

[@mayyingiang8021]

Thank you Mark for your video and sharing your knowledge. I'm curious how you are installing the art work behind you onto the walls? Velcro? Hooks? Thank you in advance for any information.

[@ash_m_]

I’m also curious about this!

[@ericarobbin]

This is super helpful, great video, thanks!

[@venkymr6146]

It's too good and compact Sir.

[@gk498302]

It's almost perfect. I do wish you could rotate the canvas. Regardless it's beautiful and I so wish I could afford it, lol!!

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Thanks Mark. May I ask....whether is it possible to create oil brush pens....like water brush pens?

[@deelightful9730]

I have a large apartment with 4 bedrooms but I live with 3 grown kids and a sibling and 2 toddler grand kids ..so I use my dining room until the "empty nest" is acquired lol. Good info here that I had not considered

[@filebrowzer]

Does a diffuser for the light box help if you have low ceilings?

[@arrebarre72]

thnx.. Done this and works great!

[@ShawNshawN]

Hi Draw Mix Paint, I like how you set up your studio. I just finished my art studio video as well.

[@rickypart5535]

Vorrei farti una domanda. Hai spiegato molto bene come impostare la luce nello studio ma come faccio ad illuminare la natura morta? Con la luce stessa dello studio o con una lampada a parte?

[@yematosan8837]

Thanks for your information, and you telling true.

[@RMHVids]

Mark, I love your shirt. Where did you get it?

[@latsm9362]

Such a great and informative channel! Thank you so much :)

[@kirkwilliams2127]

Hi Mark, can you give us more detail on the bulbs and more importantly the fixtures you used? Been looking for anything similar on Amazon to build this.

[@monicaraquel7283]

Hello Mark. I love your videos. What about the shadow box's light, which bulb do you recomend, when do I know my colors are good. Thank you!!!

[@coolvartika22]

Thanks Mark, this is very informative. Could you share how many Lumens is enough for studio light?

[@sherrillchapman4755]

Thank you.

[@AustinArtist]

Hello again: hope all is well~you and your family safe in the crazy times. I have finally gotten in the house and trying to create a studio out of the area inside instead of a finished building on the property (was not able to finish that out). Which leads me to another decision to make a studio inside. I’m going to switch to less toxic Geneva paints.l If you would be able to advise on that .

[@hanhvuong8898]

Thanks for your guidance.

[@woodsstuffmx]

Thank you

[@Kdogpiper]

It looks like the shadow box is exposed to the studio light except for what looks like a bit of cloth hanging down from the front of the shadow box. Is this not an issue?

[@kerryallen6476]

Please, Mark, what is the green-grey color on the wall behind you in this video?? Thanks for always creating such helpful videos.

[@Rikisballs]

I've heard once or twice from other folks that green is a good color for studios

[@axelwilliams7292]

Hi Mark, do you have any tips for getting the lighting right in a room with a very low ceiling? I have recently moved into a new home, and the only space I have to paint is in my basement, which has a height from floor to ceiling of about two metres (6.5 feet).

[@EmilianoPesimena]

Hi,thank you! What do think about a vertical palette? Is it possible with the consistency of Geneva paint?

[@hardstyle3196]

Highly doubt it, these are quite runny, almost a "ketchup consistency"

[@fairviewrespect8781]

Lighting 💡 is key 🔑

[@larrywakeman4371]

WHO ever heard of black walls, artificial light in a studio, and having to wear black while painting? IN all those paintings on the wall in the background of this video, one can see an overwhelming amount of dark blackness in each painting; even my husband sees that, and he is not artistically inclined. The cause of that is the fact of the black walls, the artificial light= BLACKNESS dominating the paintings. If you look at Bouguereau's work, Marguerite Delorme, or even Monet, or Cassatt, NONE of those artists' works have that, because they had LIGHT FILLED STUDIOS and whitewashed walls! SIMPLY SAID! FOLLOW the great artist of the past and you will NOT have overall blackness come out in your paintings, which looks ridiculous. Kimberly, artist

Not everyone has got thousands of dollars like you iron man . Especially when you sell palettes at £110.

[@Codswallop58]

As a matter of Flat. I was going to say you are being a dick. However, my new process for replies to KZbin is to ask myself... 1. Is it true? (Yes, you are a dick) 2. Is it necessary? (Yes, you probably don't KNOW you are a dick. Also, the non-dick population should be alerted) 3. Is it kind? (No. Well, yes, but only to non-dicks) Therefore I am not going to post a reply here.
