Do you sometimes walk into your studio area only to be overwhelmed with the mess? Where do you start? Can’t find exactly what you’re looking for?

Here’s a tip I use in my studio - my painting subjects are varied in themes and techniques, so I store each subject in plastic bins or files. It’s a simple idea and by keeping on top and ahead of studio daily “chores” - my constructive and painting time has actually increased.

Even my Practice Wall is divided in subject categories: Fruits & Vegetables, Florals, Landscapes, Figures etc. All are pinned on the practice wall in groups.

These small studies are my studio warm ups - right now my favorite sizes for paper studies are 6”x9” • 10”x10” • 9”x12”

Summary… I spend less time getting ready to paint, and have a lot more productive studio time.
I come from a corporate design background so… excuse me! I like to keep things organized.

Get it Together, Artists - Practice More!
