the everyday life of a working artist

All Done (well, almost!)

Here is the video of my newly organized Carriage House Art Studio! I think I included all of my organization tips!
OMG. I can’t believe it. The Carriage House looks so different and it is my new dream space! Dave will probably find me in here all of the time and I am so excited to paint my 30 paintings in September in my newly organized space!

The project took less time and money than I expected and the only things not finished are my chair and ottoman (they are  getting slipcovered) and the magnetic/chalkboard walls. I managed to talk my upholsterer in to making a pattern for the slipcover as I will make them myself in the future. At least I won’t freak out when it gets paint on it! 

I love that I now have my two workstations near each other (and not across the room). I can roll my chair back and forth and get more accomplished this way. Plus I have a permanent place for my easel to paint oils or abstracts. And it is so easy to find everything!

A lot of artists have asked me what’s my favorite part of my newly organized studio? It’s the large “taller” table in the center of my studio with all of my acrylic paint on rolling carts underneath.  The pre-cut plastic sheets work great and allow for easy access underneath.

I am starting an oil painting workshop Monday so unfortunately the large table has been moved out to make room for my student’s easels. But that’s ok as it will come right back in as soon as the workshop is done!

Thanks for joining me for this really fun project. Don’t forget to head on over to my Facebook Group Page to see other artists photos of their “summer studio clean up” projects too!

FAN-TAS-TIC transformation! How fortunate you are to have the carriage house and SPACE!!!!! My studio is the smallest room in my house (10'x10'); however, it has the best natural light. I am currently reorganizing and have used BED-RISERS to heighten my work table, as well (love those things!)! Looking forward to sending out my "before and after" shots! Happy painting!!!!! Pat

This is great. Thanks for showing us what a well organized studio looks like. I have recently been through a huge studio clean-up which took two weeks!
I am reorganizing my work spaces so you have given me some great ideas. Bed risers...who would have thought!

I am off all social media and blogging for a month but a friend got your post and knew it would be what I wanted to see. She was right!
Dare I go to the facebook site is the question...

Leslie, finally got a chance to view your video tour. Lots of great ideas and of course so beautiful. Thank you for all you share. Where do you store your completed paintings? I am having that problem right now.
