Andrew - you are speaking my language, my friend... I have just completed my dream Art Studio... just celebrating 72 years and is finally here. I have been an artist and maker for most of my life, primarily in wood, in particular, but not exclusively, a toymaker with a mission and overarching desire to enchant, young and old alike. Over the last 5-6 years I have felt a gravitational pull toward putting color on canvas. So I am a novice and this arena...but it seems to me the real doorway to making art, is ones call or passion to do so. And the space one creates for oneself, wherever and whatever that might be, is, I believe, so key to one's ability to unleash a creative spirit. I have worked in large and very small spaces , and although I now have the resources to create exactly the kind of space I have dreamed of, I have always sought to create in each instance, a space that energetically inspired. I have come in at the other way too...from taking a space that seemed impossible and turning it into a space that deeply inspired me. This is always one of the very first things that I do in designing any new space...reflecting on how I will be and how I would be wanting to move in this new space... Not only functionally, but emotionally and energetically. So I've done a lot of thought on this, but before going forward with my tentative plans, I thought I would peruse UA-cam with the query of "setting up an art studio"... I've looked at numbers of videos, with gratitude for those who have taken the time to share, and have garnered good tips from some, but none have resonated with the kind of thoughtfulness and heartfulness as has yours... I have subscribed to your Channel, so thank you for taking the time to share what has made a difference for me, and what I am sure will make a difference for many others. Around six years ago, my wife and I spent some memorable time in New Zealand...if we should ever visit there again, and that's not a remote possibility, as her birthplace is Australia, I would love the opportunity to visit. Blessings be, Michael Arbuckle
Stumbled upon your channel a few days ago, Andrew. It's the last day of June 2018 and coincidentally it finds me setting up my very first studio space. I learned a lot seeing and listening to this episode. I'm 74 with many interests, and art is a new one. There's little time to get it right. No reason we can't make the studio both functionally efficient and inspiring too. I'm finding art goes hand in hand with photography, writing and psychology. Like a palette of colors, they are disciplines that lend themselves to being readily blended. Each contributes to the stories we seek to tell. It makes sense to keep our research and our library of books, computer programs and tools together within easy reach.
You mentioned that one requirement for the objects you keep around for inspiration is that they put a smile on your face. I kept waiting to see you smile and you finally did for a sec at the end. You are an amazing artist and you inspired me today, hope to see you smiling more on your videos. Thank you .
Thanks again Andrew. My Dad passed a few yrs ago and I moved to northern Ontario from Vancouver to be with my mom and brother.
I'm setting up a studio in my Dads garage. I showed my boyfriend your videos and he is making me a wall easel, now we have the final key, the lighting. Thank you so much for making these videos. I now can paint full time.
Loving my life...
Sorry for your loss. Thanks for such a lovely comment! I am glad to be of help. :)
u r not just an artist, but a handyman, an economiser and a genius !!!!
an artist has to be all thise thing to make an impact in the world
Just love how professional, but thrifty, crafty, but humble, talented, yet learns along with his audience...you, are def the guy that inspired me to dive deep into painting. Thanks for that andrew! I've grown years in a short amount of time due to your videos.
I love your opening statements stating how your room needs to inspire you from the minute you walk into it. It's so very important. Thank you
Wow! you really helped me get a grip on my feeling of being overwhelmed. Thank you. I have a small space although it is larger than the small bedroom I was forced into with Art, sewing, scrapbooking, and crafting. All in a very small room that also took on storage for other things. It soon got so bad I could not even walk in it. Things are getting better. Thank you Andrew!
Same here
Excellent video and info. Your dad's sculptures are terrific.
This video clip is SO welcome. I have had to move 5 times in the last 18 months so I am really impressed how easily your systems are relocatable. Thank you so much. My friend and landlady was totally interested in the ventilation section. I think we are going to implement this in my room. Now I just have to find out how to store my finished and "in progress" canvasses.
Thank you for making time to put together all the step-by-step videos. As a casual painter for years, watching your approach has been a real inspiration to me. I hope to be stepin’ up my painting with your help. Thank you!
My husband's mother is from New Zealand! Yes, so beautiful there! And glad to see you're an animal lover! Blessings! Keep up the great work! Praise God for all good things! Take care and thank you for sharing!
You are the first artist I have seen who has recommended Kautzky as a resource. I have learned so much from his work, and from yours, Andrew. You do top quality work. Thank you for giving us an inside look at your painting procedures and your studio.
Kautzkey is pure gold! Love his work... Thanks for the comment.
Your videos are helpful and I love how your studio tour is different than all the other studio tours on youtube, you key in on points and not just showing off all of your materials but rather give tips on how to set up and what works for you.
Thank you for sharing picture with your new studio.Everything looks great and I hop you enjoy your new beginning with your family!

Welcome back man :)
Yeah... Go ahead and quote me.
Cheers Joshua!
Love your new digs in New Zealand. My Dad was there for R&R during Ww2. The majestic country is all he spoke of during his 4 yr.tour.. Your dog and cat are a must.. Thankyou for your excellent instruction. Hiyo from NJ
Best video on setting up studio for oil painting. The exhaust fan was my biggest takeaway. Thank you!!!
Thanks for this video. I had to move from large professional spaces in the US to a tiny NZ bedroom as well and my creativity has really taken a hit. I needed this attitude adjustment.
Wonderful tour and tips. The building demos are very clear and helpful.
very helpful
Thanks Andrew for making all things art interesting and giving us the down and dirty about things most artists don't share like setting up an art studio, brushes, paints and necessities.
You are right!!! everything in it's place.
I love that you shared your first oil painting in this video! I'm curious to know how long ago you made it? - Your current work is absolutely stunning! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm using the Internet to learn how to paint and your channel has really been a gold mine! I'm learning so much... tones, composition, asking forgiveness - not permission. All top quality tips and tricks. Hats off to you!
Thanks Andrew. Im a multimedia artist as well and you have inspired and helped me be better. love your space, art and animals...and back yard! shine on brother. ty...shawn in America, Roseboro, NC population 1200.
Looking at other artist’s studios never gets old. I really appreciate seeing the change from large to small studio! Also, I realize that I should be thinking more about ventilation.
Very useful video especially the extractor fan. Your blacking out your studio is good for focus. For lighting, have you tried daylight bulbs?
Loving your channel Andrew.
I hope one day I have a studio close to something like yours.
so far I got the inspiration. please keep doing this videos, they are pure gold, specially for self taught artist like me.
Will do Alejandro, thanks for the comment! :)
nice to see you settled for a while. Good luck on your journey and have fun. Studio is looking good.
Cheers Judy! Regards to WJAS!
I watch and follow many artist, but you are my favorite, i enjoy every video. Thank you.
Good luck with your new space. And thanks for sharing.
Happy to see you settled again, can't wait for your next upload. It was interesting seeing your studio setup, I'll reassess ours. Thank you for your generosity & dedication, you are inspiration personified.
Thank you Anne!
Thank you for informative video. I recently move to my sons house and have a small back space in the basement for my studio. I can’t work there because if he clutter. I am planning on doing a clutter free studio zone in a few weeks. The space is one third the size of my former studio. I do pottery, jewelry, and resin painting. This video helps me set up functioning zones. Thank you.
Felt like hearing from an old friend again. Am in the process of downsizing myself and you have made me think more clearly.
The painting you did of the Wanaka mountain is one of my favorites. Great work, MrTischler.
Thank you for this. I'm trying to set myself up and have been doing research. While there are a thousand videos of people showing off their studios, there are almost none of people explaining the reasoning in a way that lets others adapt the information for their own need.
I'm looking forward to seeing you again ... and on new videos .. warm greetings from Lower Austria
Glad to see you back!
I have been dealing with the same thing lately. I think I conquered it, but you have given me more ideas. Thanks.
Your studio is funtastic!!!!!!
Love your animals. They clearly love YOU! Thanks for this - I'm going to share it with my partner. We're renovating our home right now and part of the plan is to incorporate a studio space. Currently I paint in the dining room and the light is challenging. Thanks for the inspiration and the things to consider! Again, I'm watching you EVERY DAY. You rock.
Andrew, i just came across your channel! and i just want to say something. your channel is everything that i need. covers absolutely every aspect of art and artist's life, thank you and very well done! wish you loads of success!
You are a fantastic painter and instructor
Wonderful words of wisdom ... just had my basement finished this year, a 28 x 40 space, and my studio takes up about half of it, there is a fan vent over the open bathroom area, (surrounded by shoji screen), now after watching this, I should have had another installed right over my painting area, will check into that thanks to your tips ...
It´s definitely worth the smaller space, contra that amazing view outdoors into the most beautiful nature. I wish we had that here i Denmark. Looking forward to the video with the light, because i´m on the crossroads myself what to do next.
One of the best channels, informative and inspirational. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, experience, talent and time. Much appreciated!
I love your sense of humor and your intelligence. Well done
thanks Andrew for sharing your great setup
I love your practical info and brilliant sense of humor. There is hope for creating a studio I want and love! And I am smiling at your advice about being surrounded by what makes you smile. Immediately thought of the dinosaur-type sculpture I created in college. It's up in the attic and I miss it. I am going to name it! 'TIME'. IT'S ABOUT TIME!
Thank you Andrew!
I am just now setting up my painting studio. in my printmaking studio! Quite a challenge, but your organization of a small space is inspirational! Love your work, you are a master!
Great tutorial. You may have posted it Jul 3, 2017, but it is still applicable in 2021! I'm setting up a new home studio, and am trying to work out what the best way to turn a spare bedroom into my studio. This video was a big help. Thanks for the input.
Fiiinally a new video. I was missing your teaching of art. Keep up the good work.
Very informative video. I am "organized challenged" and I have finally turned to UA-cam to find some tips. UA-cam literally has everything and anything one needs to know about a subject. Still it is painful to start this learning process of how to organize but with such a small house I have no alternative. Getting out of one's comfort zone to start changing one's house/studio environment is quite the challenge.
Wow what a lovely studio ! I think you did a very great job please enjoy it ,keep going ,I liked your first painting ...
Thank you Andrew. You are my inspiration. Perhaps one day I will be able to paint in such beautiful studio as yours. I wish you successful and satysfaction in your new studio and all the best for you and your wife in a new place in New Zealand .
Thanks +moeh1105
Great studio setup Mr Andrew.i love the way you set up vetilation system.I love love your new backyard in New Zealand.great work man keep it up.
Cheers Robert!
Great ideas Andrew - thank you.
Just now came across your video...this is what I've been looking for, for my own studio! thank you! I booked mark this and will forward it to my builder!!!
Wish you great luck in your fantastic new domicile and studio. Always enjoy your clips. And your tutorial dvd Southwest Seascape that is a valuable refresher course even when I'm doing a portrait. You are a great instructor.
Thanks Donna! Have you seen the portraits tutorial? www.andrewtischler.com/shop
Great video, make me smile, great humour! Thank you!
You are a fabulous artist and your tour of your studio was the best I've seen: informative, to the point, entertaining and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your time and space and kind regards from Ohio.
Looks great. You have thought about everything.
thanks Andrew, Great quick clip and fun to see your sense of humor shining through : ) I just happen to be packing up, fitting my life in a small moving container as well - a new home and smaller studio ahead. I am looking forward to more time dedicated to painting , so it was inspiring to see you settling in. Good luck in New Zealand. It looks heavenly. Also, I think you were teasing us with that gorgeous painting of the bird in the background. I can't wait for that video!
Hey Lori, thanks for the comment. Yes, there ar a pit of hornbills on the way. A "how to paint feathers tutorial" me thinks.
That seascape is particularly good!
Thank you for this beautiful video. Your presentation style is very impressive, and your integrity shines through. It reflects in your work too.
Thank you so much for posting this video. I needed to hear this. I am a clutter-hound and I waste time trying to find things in my art studio. I like how you talked about Zones. I am going to implement these things right now in my studio. When I am finished it will be organized and I will be ready to work. Thank you so much. By the way, Your studio looks so awesome; it's so cozy and welcoming. :) I am subscribing to your videos to hear more.
love the window ventilation unit! currently I have a fan on reverse in mine and I turn on the overhead fan as I airbrush.
superb Andrew :) loved seeing your new space
Hey Jason! Thanks mate!
Thanks again for all your art wisdom!
LOVE your bird paintings!!
Great video as I am converting a small room into a studio also. Excited about your move to NZ and looking forward to what you discover to paint. Many thanks for your abundant sharing especially for beginners like myself who can't afford school or art classes.
A very appropriate guide for me at this time when I will be reorganizing my art space. I like the idea of zones, especially. Thank you!
nice, really like to watch tour of your backyard!
Thank you for amazing value Andrew!!!!
Thank you for sharing your talent. Great ideas. Looking forward to more.
What a great place to live Andrew. Hope it is worth downsizing for that view. Thanks for all your invaluable advice. I have just downsized myself and will be trying to create a working space in my garage.
LOVE these! Thank you!
4:06 omg hello 😭❤️
Great video! I finally started trying oil paints after finding a set of 10 tubes for $2 at the thrift store! Loving it so far! For my fan I used an old window fan thing that has a reverse setting to push air out. Not sure how it will work next winter as I worry while running it will leave my studio too cold or cost too much in heating since it pushes it out 😅
Hi Andrew - i really love your work and style i wish i can be as good as you one day..i will follow you every way pssible to become a good artist love your drawing and painting which has inspired me to pick up my pencils and brushes again thanx
Thanks Andrew!
Love it! Small, but action packed 😉. Great tips, and beautiful work!
Nice done. Thanks for advices.
Your work is FREAKIN AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Andrew this video is really helpful. It's literally only the second video I've looked at regarding studios. The rest has been ideas slowly coming to reality from my head and experimentation . Do you make your studio into a cosy area you relax as well.? I have a one bed flat so I'm short on money and space I have made my lounge into a studio basically before it was full of EVERYTHING. Boxes, paintbrushes, paint, wood and DIY stuff, clay, tools, all the make shift *furniture" I used to store it, books , reference pictures, colours and then some but in the end I had no where to relax away from it. Or maybe it was just a bad set up? All I can think to do is move house with an extra room which would be very similar to your studio , I do seeing, painting z sculpting, business stuff , drawing , wood work ; and what an awesome studio you have btw!
So yeah to you keep your multi functional studio completely separate from your living space? Or do you not mind if they overlap
Mine has been good for ages but im worried the bigger it grows the more I will feel claustrophobic and end up to trying to escape again xD
Thank you Andrew! I truly have learned so much from your videos and am so grateful! ❤
Love your video friend! good stuff Mayne!
Lovely space and fantastic art work
Hi Andrew, this video is really cool ( better said, I like you) love your humor you added here, and the great tips... the ventilation is a must for me, so have to figure out how to get this done, seeing as I'm alone, I'll have to hire someone to do this for me, let's hope he won't charge an arm and a leg :). again thanks!! much appreciated!! hope you enjoy that gorgeous place a long time !!
Your video your words are so motivating..... Thanks a lot.. you are a very smart and intelligent artist with good motivational speaking skills
This really made me happy! So well-thought through, organized space AND an entertaining video on top! Love it!
On point again Andrew! Am just in the process of figuring out a new layout for my studio which will also need to double as a guest room now that Baby 2 is about to claim the former spare room... Some great ideas to consider there - enjoy NZ, my brother went 8 years ago for a job and has no intention of moving home any time soon :-) Beautiful country!
Hey Kelly! Congrats on Baby 2!
Thank you, it was amazing!
I'm glad I found your videos, I needed a boost to get me to the next thing. Thanks!
Thank you Andrew for another great video. I've learned so much from your videos. Keep it up. Love your work too.
Thanks again, excellent job!
Thank you! I'm new to your channel, which I discovered randomly while searching oil painting tutorials. Thank you for your sincerity and for genuinely sharing your knowledge and experience with aspiring painters like me. I watched several videos this evening taking notes. Joined your Facebook Page and subscribed to your website. Merci beaucoup!
great points to studio design Andrew. Thanks for sharing!
Awesome job as always bud , getting ready to turn my basement in a studio. I am also doing my first still life got my inspiration from your video , Thanks
