Loved the tour! The only thing that I would add to your studio space is a VOC air cleaning unit. My studio space looks to be about the same size as yours and I have a different set of architectural issues to deal with - for example, my windows don't open. Even though we really don't smell "fume odors" from Odorless Mineral Spirits, they are still present nonetheless. I came across a discussion about this several years ago on the Wet Canvas community boards and the 3 stage VOC removing air purifier by Air Doctor was being reviewed by the poster. This has regular, Hepa and Carbon filters, monitoring and alarm features. I went to their website, found this model and got on their mailing list. Around 2 months later, the company was having a big sale event and I ordered it (I began saving up for this unit during this time). I also use the Edge Pro easel, mine is in Cherry, and I want to thank you for doing your review video. Even though at the time that I bought mine, the light was their 1st generation and even though I haven't had any issues with it, I took your advice and purchased the new one. I love the digital light settings and works great. I cannot comment about the "natural state" of your studio - it looks like mine! Lastly, thank you for your videos! They have helped, encouraged and inspired me in how I approach my art.
Thank you for sharing the “real deal”. For me this video accomplished what you said you wanted it to do - it gave me “permission” to move forward in my practice despite poor lighting and cramped quarters. I need to stop get distracted by needing to get a better set up. Your videos and insight are very helpful to me. Thank you.
I watched your video from my studio and looked over my shoulder at an almost identical arrangement of supplies, paintings, reference materials and general artsy clutter. I guess its a state of mind for us painters. The tube opener is actually a nut cracker but perfect for the off tube that refuses to give up. I always think of John Candy in Planes, Trains and Automobiles' trying to work the washing machine. 😋
Great space! ❤ Thanks for sharing it. May I ask how you hang your panels on the wall? I've recently made a switch to oils and am using panels and canvas pads. Finding a place for them to dry is such a dilemma!
I’m amazed that you can have a puzzle out with a cat! My cats love puzzle pieces. Your studio isn’t that messy. I’ve seen worse. It works for you and that’s what matters.
LOL, your space is HUGE! My whole house is 200 square foot, but you're right, you don't need much space, you just need a little dedicated space and it'll work! Love your backdrop for filming ... it feels spacious the way your organized it and the big Western window makes your space larger too! Nice organization with the low shelving too!
Chelsea, straight away I have ordered a wooden dish rack drainer for my oil boards....up until watching this video I had been leaning them up against a wall, then I saw the dish drainer in your video and thought, aha! That is perfect for my needs so thanks for showing us your work space.
Love it!! Thanks for sharing! I work in my dining room and don’t like that but have not much room. And now I can see how I also can do it. Can you tell how you stick your panels at the wall?? Thank you very much!
You’re an inspiration. Thank you for your vulnerability and authenticity. You help me so much! On an unrelated note, can you please make a video on how to figure out how to sign your paintings? How important is it to have a legible signature? This part always stumps me.
Second that request. Getting started in acrylics and follow the advice to use large brushes, but can't really sign with 'em. Is some kind of pen frowned upon? A watercolor rigger maybe? Thanks to Chelsea for your wonderful instructive channel.
I gotta say…. This made me feel a lot better about my studio space (half of the guest room. ) Always thinking I neeeeed a NY loft with its own elevator!! Lol😁
Hi Chelsea, what make is your tabletop easel, looks nice and portable, my Pochade box is a relic and a monster to totes around Thanks, great videos as well 👍👍
You have what appears to be a dish rack, but it's empty. I assume it's there to hold small panels. Does it work for that purpose? I'm looking for a good storage solution nfor 6x8 and 9x12 panels. Ideas?
شكرا لك على تقريبنا من مرسمك شكرا على كرم الدعوة و حفاوة الترحاب. ويبدو أنك تعملين بشكل منظم ونظيف..وهذا يعطي الانطباع أننا أمام فنانة تعمل بسخاء وجهد لتضيف للفن قيمة وباسلوب مختلف. لو تفضلت ايتها الفنانة بالكشف عن خلطة السوائل الكيماوية ومقاييسها والتي تطاوعك في الرسم بسلاسة على القماش. شكرا لك تحياتي.

I agree, the most important part of any studio is cat
Great space! Love it. Using dining room table, have big dreams. .
Hi Chelsea good to see you and hear from you. Love the studio
The thing you use to "get open tubes of paint" is a lobster claw cracker. Or a crab legs cracker.
I have cats that like to base in my home studio. No charge for extra texture in the paintings I can't seem to avoid.
I gotta say….
This made me feel a lot better about my studio space (half of the guest room. )
Always thinking I neeeeed a NY loft with its own elevator!! Lol😁
Many great painters had a messy studio/ workspace. A little clutter in an art room is good for creativity I think
I wish you would talk about framing your work. Do you frame you work? Do you frame the commission work before you give it to your clients?
Hi Chelsea. Loved the tour. How do you hang your paintings that is on panel?
Like this, sitting in the room for a long time will have chemicals.
On sofa
Hi Chelsea, what make is your tabletop easel, looks nice and portable, my Pochade box is a relic and a monster to totes around
Thanks, great videos as well 👍👍
Beautiful hair colot🌷
One question what surface palette you use is it glass?
i use baby wipes to clean my hands too ! :)
Are you still using that expensive Geneva easel?
I think there was a bomb explosion in your studio hahaha 🤣😂
Hi Chelsea. I noticed you have paint sitting on your palette. Do you cover it when not in use. I’m curious about your whole palette use
I really love the tour of your studio! Where did you get your wall easel?
How do you adhere your paint pants to the wall? I'd love to do same ❤️❤️
You are so awesome 😊

I use those stackable mesh paper holders from office supply stores. Works for panels 8x 11 or smaller
@@Srossartist Great idea, though they're a bit small for my 9x12s.

لو تفضلت ايتها الفنانة بالكشف عن خلطة السوائل الكيماوية ومقاييسها والتي تطاوعك في الرسم بسلاسة على القماش.
شكرا لك تحياتي.
Do you still that wooden easel you got from Geneva art supply?
beautiful
Amazing, tks from Monterrey, N. L. México.
Nice your, but where is the Geneva easel?
Do you still have the Geneva easel?
Hey I didn't see your $2,000 GENEVA STUDIO EASEL??? Don't you like it?
I answer this question in my recent FAQ video. :)
👌 amazing
Great space for you, (I'm jealous!) but chemical scents and fragrance oils are very toxic for your beautiful cat...
Whew. Lotsa camera movement 😅
It's a cool space but he blurry close up shaky shots make the video unwatchable for me.
