Steal Ideas To Use In Your Own Studio! 

You are extremely lucky you have a studio. I have a large table in the corner of my dinning area and an easel. It would heaven to have an actual studio any way that’s just in my dreams. 🥰👍

The cleat system is genius! You are so lucky to have a hubby that could make that happen for you 💜

Perfect! I like your laid back approach. So relaxed and healthy and happy! It comes through in your artwork as well. A happy, cheerfulness!

I love the space you have. This is a great way to keep organized. The IKEA drawers are the perfect idea for all my acrylic paints and reference papers. I live in an apartment, my boyfriend built me 2 work stations plus I have an easel. But my drawers are small chests of drawers and containers in different places. Love to have everything together.

My great grandparent's used angled boards, similar to your cleated system, to hang heavy mirrors, etc. Additionally, their 14ft high celings had picture railing several feet below the crown moulding to hang paintings w/o damaging walls. Your video was both a lovely reminder of traditional solutions, and an inspiration for my renewed artistic callings! Keep creating!

No such thing as an art studio being a mess! If it was clean and organized it wouldn’t be a true working studio. I absolutely love my messy studio!

I am green/gold with envy, Julia but really, you deserve this wonderful space. As you have shown, it's not so much how much space you have but how you organize it. Good job!

Green gold is one of my favourites too. One of the best ways to mix warm greens!

having been a General contractor, I was going to build a separate room for an art studio. Cost became a factor with a 12x 16 costing $8 to $10,000 so I am walling off part of the garage and making a small 14’ x22’ separate room in the garage. There is always trade offs in life!

I started painting when I was 14. For many years, my “studio” was a shoebox where I kept everything. When I was 40, we had a house fire, and the rebuilding process allowed us to finish part of the attic, and for the first time I got an easel. That easel was my red sports car.

I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fabulous!!!!

Love Love Love!!!!! The French cleat system is genius! I am 56 years old and just finding my love for art but live in a very very tiny little space show every single inch of my house has paint on it never mind my non existent studio. Thank you for sharing!❤

That was fun. Thank you! Can’t wait for the square foot show! I’ve bid on your things a few times and keep losing. Fingers crossed I get that triptych from your last video! Love it!

Thank you for the tour. Lucky you!

Julia, thank you so much for sharing your studio. It's actually very clean and organized compared to most other studios. I love the natural light you have incoming. Awesome!

Awesome to see such an established artist use such a simplified space... makes it accessible. Really makes me think, I can do this too! I don't have cleats or a dedicated building, but I do have the basics and that's really all you need to get started. Thanks for sharing!

Looking forward to following your RU-vid journey - loved to tour

Yay thank you inspiring - clear and concise. Looking forward to more!

I’m so looking forward to your channel! Your studio is absolutely perfect. Subscribed ❤

Your slats and wedges on the wall is brilliant!!!

Ooo! I love your art!!🩵💙💜😎

I just happened upon your channel (thank you RU-vid for suggesting it), now I have to binge watch all your videos so I can catch up. Your video library is so colorful and fun. See you at the beginning. 😊🌌😊

I remember when you started it! it turned out so nice!

Awesome studio. Thanks for sharing. Love your work.

So functional., thanks for sharing

Love your studio - tons of light and that wall cleat system is awesome!! First I saw that industrial sized tube roller, have to get one of those!! Thanks for the tour❣️

That was fantastic. Thank you.

I love your art studio. Wish I had one. Also your paintings are delightful. It has encouraged me to get on with some art work. Thank you Julia.

Thanks so much for doing this. I also love RU-vid for learning. Would like to see the heater and air conditioner unit and know the name and manufacturer. I have been wanting to move my studio out to another space and we would definitely need a heater.

nice shoes! Great tour, nice to see what you paint with, etc.,

Love your studio, Julia! You are so organized! Need to clean my studio! ☺️ Thanks for sharing!

Happy to find you! Your style of painting is my favorite. What a beautiful studio! I wish I could paint like you do, hopefully watching some of your videos will help me get there. Looking forward to seeing everything you do.

Nice. Could you please inform more about your canvas on the wall "cleap" system ?

I had to laugh! I have that same six drawer unit, and my drawers get stuck too. I also have managed to get paint everywhere despite trying to contain it. I'm now at the point where i just don't worry about it anymore. I figure it's just ambiance. ❤

Currently working on my dining room table its so frustrating!!!! Oh to have this space...you are so blessed ❤

Your studio is amazing! Just found you yesterday and already I’m learning so many great ideas from you!!

Love your studio! Would you mind sharing some of the other you tube content you watch for inspiration?

I am trying to convince the hubby to put this up in my studio so I can use it to hang my favorite paintings and for items I want to list for sale during an open studio event.

OMG/G!!!!!! Pleeeezzze share what model of the IKEA drawer systems in your studio!!!!! I've been looking (and wishing) for some white tall drawer-cabinet systems that can be used in my studio as "flat files" instead of the traditional metal flat files. Luv your studio. The size - 11'x20' is good for a building that was already on your property and you have a sink! Also what I've have done in my studios in space I've rented is to put down cheap linoleum flooring over the wood, tile and carpeted floors then put down throw away rugs, canvas or vinyl tarps...

Hi Julia! I'm scrolling through RU-vid and, lo and behold, I find you!

Thanks ❤ 😍✨🎨💖👋🏻👍🏻🥰

Oh you luckey woman/artist I would love to have such a separate space/studio ❤ and, if I could I would like to have a separat workshop as well...😅 but, unluckely, I am a renter and does not have such space nor possibilities 😢

I’m stuck in a tiny bedroom about 8x9 feet, no closet.

Please share the colors you chose for your flower painting other than black and white. Thank you!

Hello, I enjoyed the tour of your studio! Your paintings are beautiful!! And + 1 sub !! 🎨❤️

My thoughts are if my Studio isn’t a mess, I’m not painting enough😂

Good Morning, you just appeared in my feed this morning. Great ideas to glean from. I have always adored the French Cleat system but never considered using them as an easel. I look forward to watching your videos and learning from your talent. How did you publish your books? I write poetry but don't know how to publish, so if you have a video on that, I would love to watch it.

Very nice studio with beautiful light and vertical spaciousness! What are your lower cabinets of drawers? You mentioned Ikea, did you get them ftom ikea? Thanks! 😃

❤

Thanks for sharing! Great video and an inspiration! Where do you store your finished pieces....beyond those 12x12's.

Beautiful! Wish i had a dedicated studio, but have to make do in my living room and a storage room upstairs. you didn't show where you keep canvasses-do you stretch your own or buy them?

Thanks for the tour! Love the cleat system. And I was wondering….Where do you keep your canvases? I have stacks of blank canvases on hand. And stacks that I want to paint over. You mentioned your garage do you keep items stored in there also?

Great studio! I'm getting ready to build a cleat wall, too. Since you've been using yours for some time now, do you wish you had any lower rails? I'm trying to decide how low the lowest rail should be. Thanks for the tour!

Where do you keep all of your canvases blank and painted?

Jeez, < you think that is a messy studio? Hahahaha😂 you should see mine!!!

How are the cleets attached to your canvases? where can I buy the cleets? Thank you!😊

What printer do you use to print out your reference photos with

Yes please how do YOUdo the use reference photos

Why do you paint on red?

You think “that’s” a mess?😳

Adopt, not steal 😊

😳terribly messy 🤦🏼‍♀️ I couldn't feel comfortable painting with everything full of paint and spots. The drawers' content all so messy and unorganized. Ever heard about big folders to keep things organized? Small things in smallers boxes would be better

Please stop apologizing for paint being around your painting studio. L O L.
