Even though I've been painting for years, I picked up some ideas from you, thanks! You asked for some ideas of different ways of doing things. I use a rolling toolbox as my taboret and modified it to fit my needs. The drawers hold my tubes of paint and all manner of tools. It came with a plastic top with a small tool bin on one side. On the top, I have a glass palette with a neutral gray paper behind it. That lets me mix colors a bit more accurately. The tool bin holds my clean solvent, dirty solvent, medium, and a jar for the brushes currently in use. I added a flat shelf to one side of the toolbox for brush wiping. On the back, I duct-taped a bunch of the 3-unit cardboard boxes that Cheap Joe's uses to ship multiple tubes of paint. These are where I keep my brushes, organized by size. I'll see if I can send you a photo so you can see what I'm talking about. Thanks for the ideas!

Thank you for this helpful and straightforward guide to setting up a studio for a working artist. So much out there is dedicated to "decorating" a studio, versus making it useful. I paint in watercolor and am moving into acrylics, but I still found much here helpful -- in particular, the tips on lighting, storage and the variety of clamps.

Thank you so much for explaining things (for instance lighting) to us like kindergarten painters. I am always irritated by videos that tell what is used but not why it is used. Great video.

Wow Julie, thanks. I have watched a few of your videos now. I have been a miniature painter for 20 years with acrylics and was thinking of trying oils on them. Now I want to get into painting pictures with oils and get into the whole deal. Thanks, I will watch more of your vids to help me with that process.

Thank you for your thorough presentation, really helpful. One idea I have found is a way to hang empty frames. I use the Closetmaid or similar shelving apparatus for wire shelving, but without the shelves. The horizontal main bracket is attached to studs; the vertical slotted pieces hang from that horizontal bracket, then I use the triangular pieces (that would hold the shelves) in pairs or spaced out as needed to hang frames from. Ideally it is good to put felt or cushioning or even a cloth over these brackets so the frames don't get scratched. I will email a photo. Thank you Julie!

Julie- Thanks for the great tips here! I have also found this tip to be helpful: While painting and overnight, I don't wash my brushes. I instead wipe a soiled brush with a paper towel, clean it lightly in gamsol, and after each use or at the end of the day, I just lay them in a plastic roller paint tray with 3 or 4 ounces of oil in the bottom. To re-use a brush, I wipe all the oil off with a rag and begin painting. The oil not only keeps the brushes fresh while painting, but also dissolves excess paint and conditions the bristles for longer term storage. I replace the oil in the tray and wash the brushes only about 1X per month, when the oil becomes soiled with dissolved paint In it, or when the tray becomes filled with brushes. (I do not store mops or blenders this way, I clean and wash them after each day.)

Julie, thanks for such great video. I wonder if you have suggestion in terms of managing paint. When you set up your palette for a session, do you estimate home much paint you’ll use and when done disregard the leftover? I often find myself wasting a lot and if you use good stuff like Naural Pigments, it’s painful! And personally I can’t paint daily so I have to do better management. Any suggestions?

@JulieBeck 3 жыл бұрын

You can save some paints in between settings but putting it in a Tupperware container and in the freezer. The cold slows down the oxidation. I usually put out all my starting lineup... About a nickel sized pile each and go from there unless I'm covering a large area. Its better to "waste" paint than not have enough out in my opinion. Most people paint better when they are not being stingy with the paint. No one ever says on their death bed "I wish I saved more paint"

@@JulieBeck ha ha! I don’t want to say that in my death bed so I’ll be less stressed about it and freeze it when needed.
