Thanks. Perhaps you could address the challenge of lighting a space that gets little to no natural light?

Love my painting wall. About 2 years ago my husband built my art studio in the basement of our new home where there are 2 big 2x4 feet wide windows so lots of natural light and 1 of my key criteria was for him to make sure I had 1 wall for me to paint. It is 11 feet wide, I just love it and I can work on more then 1 painting at a time. The room is 23feet long by 11feet wide.

I placed a sheet of 4' x 8' 3/4" plywood on the wall vertically, screwed into the studs, and two 4' x 4' 3/4 plywood panels to both sides centered. Now, I can mount anything at any height or horizontal length within the plus shape by various means. I use cinderblocks to sit canvases on when leaning against the wall.

Love this. Saw your year old post when in CVP too and have implemented this. One more tweak: found that I sometimes want to throw a large piece of Yupo or drawing paper up and am trying this idea - removed screws gently, put up drawings and when I need them for my cradled panels plan to GENTLY replace the screws in their holes. Jury still out on this...

GREAT practical stuff... you can use half sized concrete blocks on floor too. 8" high

This was such a great video. My studio has been through so many changes because I have been trying to function as a studio and a gallery. My next studio will be bigger and I am going to arrange the walls like you do. I visualize the next studio space all day long.

I have two large primed doors that I got from the hardware store attached to the brick wall in my studio, one on top of the other . I have been using hooks which hang over the doors, which means I am in a fixed position t and the canvas's sit rather high. This is a FANTASTIC video, I am going to get my electric drill out an start putting in screws. I'm also going to get some blocks, so many times I'm moving from the wall to my easel just because I can't reach. Thanks Nicholas your a champ! Sera from Down Under

I Absolutely 💯 love ❤️ this!!!!!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you. This helps with my weekend wall set up project.

As always, this was super helpful. Thanks Nick!

This is the information that I was looking for. Thanks for sharing!

So many helpful ideas...Thanks! Elizabeth

Great ideas. Thank you for sharing. I don't paint big canvas ... yet. Nevertheless I personally like to work on the floor. Have a great Sunday! Greetings from Portugal

Very helpful! Thank you.

Can you talk about lighting the studio. I only have a ceiling track light and wondered what you’d recommend for some type of floor lighting. Thank you. I need details and pictures. Thank you.

The walls in my studio are rock hard concrete block, so will need more drastic measures! Thanks anyway.

Hi there that was really helpful. Can I ask how do you make sure that the screws are level? Thanks 🙏🎨

Is your floor covered with anything? What is it made of?

Thank you so much because I'm getting ready to change my entire setup. I do have another question though....different topic. I know that you usually paint on wooden panels. I think that you have them made for you. I don't have anyone to make them for me so I made one and I tack canvas to it while I'm painting, then roll up the painting and sell it un-stretched. I would think that the shipping would get way to expensive to really paint on a large wooden panel then ship it. Do you ship large wooden panels? And, if so, do you have a preference for shipping company? Also, I'd love to see one of your wooden panels on the back so I could see how it's built and the materials used. I apologize if you've already covered this in a video. I love to paint big but I feel like I'm really limited now because I'm no longer doing art shows so I'm trying to sell online. Also, please know that I'm a big fan. I love your videos and the calm, easy way that you talk about everything.

Do you have an issue with the bottom of the canvas floating a bit from the wall?

wish I had walls! My studio is in the attic with slanted vaulted walls. Do you have any suggestions for me?

IM JUST SETTING UP MY ART WALL . I hung wood strips but now I am not sure the distance apart the screw should be to accommodate different size canvases. I was planning about 12 inches. Help.. 🙏🏼

Older homes do not have studs.

I’m creating a painter studio for abstract art in one of my bedrooms. Any suggestions for protecting the walls from paint splatter?
