share your studio

[Eric Castleman]

I work on the couch with bad lighting, and a 3 year old child trying to hit my elbows while I ink or paint. The struggle is real

@Eric-Castleman @lmrush I sympathize with the battle against little grabby hands... I try to get some things done at our computer desk (with enough space for barely an 8.5x11 pad) but with a 2 year old and 1 month old, I haven't got anything accomplished in quite awhile!

Love this thread. My little corner, with a peek at my "wall of inspiration", which has notes about creating art and inspiring quotes I can glare at when I get frustrated.

I've got a little space at the end of the living room.

@ZackracK @Eric-Castleman When my kids were small, I bought a cool children gate (like the one they mount in nurseries and on staircases) that had adjustable width, and I mounted it between a bookshelf and a wall (about 1.5m - 6-7 ft apart) that separated my corner from the rest of the house (we have an open space). That caused a couple of tantrums but effectively avoided the issue of little children irrupting into my space (with or without me being there). Maybe you have an arrangement where that would work.

This is my art space right now...in our home office, separated off from the rest of the house with a stairgate across the doorway... nevertheless it does not keep out the noise! And with a 2 and 4 year old, it gets tricky getting any work done at all during the summer holidays/half-term/weekends, etc....

But we have an idea to solve this...what is currently a patch of concrete in our garden will - hopefully! - become our new art studio.... fingers crossed we can get it finished

[amberwingart]

Everyone's art spaces are so clean and peaceful! I'm ashamed to show mine - it looks like a tornado ripped through, lol. I love clean spaces but I nest when I create & I create better in messy spaces. Plus my cat kids come into my studio and wreak havoc.

@Eric-Castleman Oh I hear you!

[lmrush]

@Dulcie So exciting!

[Camomilla]

This is my desk I share an office with my husband in our basement. I tried not to get his desk in the shot, as it is a complete disaster area My desk is fairly organised, but I can't seem to get rid of all the cables and cords Anyways, I'd like to get more art up on my walls, but struggle reaching the back wall (I'm 5 feet tall - uh - short). Perhaps I'll get my husband to help me decorate more

LOVE seeing other people's work spaces...

OFFICE STUDIO

HOME STUDIO (Glorified Closet)
Nice and toasty tucked next to the furnace...

I used to have an offsite studio downtown that I loved but I was unable to get there as much as I wanted so it was more financially responsible to move back home for freelance... I may eventually put up a couple walls downstairs and make a more comfortable space for my work but we'll see.

MY OLD STUDIO (Downtown)

[Lee White]

I love my studio

[QuietYell]

@Lee-White oh! Your studio is treeless and repaired now? Congrats! I bet you love it even more now!

[andyjewett]

@Lee-White that looks like my ideal (dream?)... to build a small out-building in the backyard... I always think of Charles Schulz's setup.

Do you have any interior shots? Is it just a big open room basically?

[Lee White]

@andyjewett Here's a shot before I added my wall lighting and other details to the interior space. There is a small couch and rug in there now. Along with some books and paintings supplies.

[andyjewett]

@Lee-White Dig it. Thanks for sharing!

[lmrush]

@Lee-White awesome thanks for sharing!

[Charlie Eve Ryan]

My studio is protected by Rick Grimes and Daryl Dixon!! Zombie free zone!
PS I want @Lee-White's set up! Sweet!

[lmrush]

@Charlie-Eve-Ryan Awesome great space thanks for sharing!

[MOO]

@Charlie-Eve-Ryan Ha! I love that you have protectors Zombies could really be distracting and annoying!
