Many of you have seen glimpses of my studio during Facebook Lives, but it recently occurred to me that I didn’t have a dedicated post showing my space in its entirety, and I had to correct that! I also am excited to give you a peek behind the curtain at my storage solution and where I hide all of the overflow and not-as-pretty painting supplies. Come check out my studio tour, y’all!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Welcome to my studio tour! As an artist and paint party teacher<\/a><\/strong>, it’s so important for me to have a creative and inspiring space where I can work on my art and teach my online classes. This studio is just that – it’s colorful and full of light, with plenty of space for me to spread out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This studio is my refuge; it’s a place where I can escape from the everyday stress of life and just focus on my art. It’s also a great space for collaboration; I often invite friends over to work on projects together. Art is better with friends!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s in My Studio Tour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I also want to note that not everyone needs a studio (or at least one as large as mine). I used to paint at a dining table in our apartment, and I’ve painted outside in the grass. However, at this point in my business, I found that a dedicated space was necessary and I am so thankful for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Natural Light<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As someone with an online business, I found that having a space with natural light to photograph my art (both while in progress and finished) has been a game changer!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you’ll see in the video below, I’ve got the perfect little window nook for that purpose. I usually stick with the same background, but can easily switch it up if I feel like it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artificial Lighting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I also use plenty of ring lights and other artificial lighting. There are FIVE lights in my studio space! To be fair, a ring light is one of my top 6 must-have business tools<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s also a super cool chandelier that you’ve got to check out in the video!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attic Storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One thing you’ll notice is the attic areas! I feel like God made this room for me, as there are not one, not two, but THREE separate attic storage areas in this space!!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Space number one is what I call the ceramic and wood closet. I’ll be honest and say I had someone help me organize it because that’s not my gifting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"wood<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Attic space number two is a mixture space. It’s mostly where I keep stencils – you KNOW I love a good stencil<\/a><\/strong>! I keep them in labeled boxes with the season or holiday written on the box. I also keep staging supplies here for photoshoots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"labeled<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The 3rd area is where I store all of my extra porch leaners, canvases, brushes, cups and other paint party materials<\/a><\/strong>. It’s great to have this extra storage space, especially since I’m always creating new pieces!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paint Wall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is kind of the show stopper of my space! My husband built me this custom shelving by hanging trim pieces on the wall with L brackets. As you can imagine, it’s incredibly functional because I can just grab colors as I need them, but it also is really pretty so it doubles as my background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I also have several spaces around the studio that have more storage. I wanted things to not feel so cluttered and claustrophobic, so I prefer to have everything tucked away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This quick video gives you a tour of my space! Remember, all you need to get started is a tiny little space carved out – where there is a will, there’s a way!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
