If you love to draw or paint, the hardest challenge you may face is finding a good place to work. You want a room where the lighting is good, but also a place where you can’t be distracted by other things that seem more important.

For a long time I worked in my bedroom, where I can keep my art supplies handy and not clutter up the rest of my house. But it’s also hard to focus because there are so many other things that catch my eye: the wall color, the bookshelf, the dresser. So when I saw this blog item at CraftyPod about building an art studio in your closet, I was intrigued.

The idea is simple: build an L-shaped desk out of inexpensive drywall boards and attach it to the back of your closet door. The result is a nice big workspace with storage underneath and plenty of light from above. And since your studio can move easily wherever you need it, you get all the benefits of working at home without all the distractions.

It’s easy to build your own portable art studio for painting, drawing, and all the other visual arts. You can move it from room to room, or take it outside for plein air work. It’s also a great way to create art storage that is mobile, convenient, and attractive.

Tight on space? Use a closet! This portable studio is constructed in one of the closets in our home. We were able to make the studio easily with materials on hand and without adding any permanent fixtures or construction.

The basic idea is simple: put an easel on rollers so you can move it easily. Attach a shelf or two for supplies. Add a bright light and you’re ready to go!

You don’t have to be an artist to enjoy this kind of flexible working environment. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to paint, draw, sketch, or do anything else that requires a good deal of free-flowing creativity. And because it’s portable and easy to move, you can work anywhere in your house.”

Name:How to Organize Your Life

A great deal of art making occurs in the home. The home is where we feel most comfortable and relaxed. It’s also where we take a lot of our inspiration. Many artists have their own studios at home, but often there isn’t room for everything you need to make art. If your children are in the same space where you make art, this can be a problem, since there can be a lot of mess involved with the creative process. If your spouse or significant other objects to the mess, this can be a problem as well!

The solution to these problems is to build an art studio in your closet. There are many materials that you can utilize to create this studio, depending on how much money you want to spend and how much time you want to spend putting it together. But the important thing is that it needs only to fit in one closet. You don’t necessarily need permission from your significant other for this project, since it will essentially be hidden from view. And if you already have permission from them, then they will have no reason to complain about the lack of organization once it’s built!

Hello, I am Anastasia and I’m an artist. I’ve been drawing and painting since my early childhood. In 2007 I became a professional artist and I have been working in this field for more than 10 years now.

This blog is about the art room that I built from scratch and where I work every day. It’s a portable art studio because it is made to be easily disassembled, moved from room to room, and stored when not in use.

I share a lot of ideas about creating space for art making, organizing your workspace, traveling with your art supplies, creating effective lighting solutions for your art space, organizing your supplies as well as a lot of other useful information for artists of all levels…

Stay tuned;-)

The reason, of course, is that I’m lazy. I’d rather spend my days doing art than building an art studio. The trouble is that it’s easy to get stuck in a rut, and so I decided to build an art studio so I’d have to do more art.

Trying to make something portable turned out to be the key element. Making a big permanent structure would only encourage me to avoid using it. Having built it, however, I find it surprising how much use it gets.

This is what I did:

1.) Take a large storage closet, remove the shelves and trim back the plywood as shown;

2.) Construct a wall from 1×2’s and 3/4″ plywood as shown;

3.) Put in a floor by nailing 5/4″ underlayment (hardware store) to the top edges of the 3/4″ plywood; this makes the floor slightly flexible so you can pull it out easily when moving;

4.) Cut 1×2’s into 4-foot lengths and nail them across one end of the wall, making sure they’re level (you want your doors to open level), then put in some 1×2 blocks on edge for light shelves;

Anyone with a little spare time and a knack for art can take it up as a hobby. Nothing says you have to sell your work, but if you want to, there are ways to make it easier.

How do you turn an interest in art into a money-making enterprise? It isn’t easy, but some people have managed it. Here are some tips for how to make the leap from amateur to professional artist.

Art is one of the few areas where not having any suitable training doesn’t stop you from being able to succeed. In fact, not having training might help you. If you’re just starting out and don’t know a lot about techniques yet, your work might be more original than someone who has learned everything there is to know about art techniques.

Your work doesn’t even need to be original—sometimes it’s even better if other artists have done similar things before, because that will give your customers something they can compare yours against and decide whether they like yours better.

To build up a body of work that will allow you to sell originals of your pieces, try sketching out ideas and filling in practice canvases whenever the mood strikes you. This will help develop your artistic style while allowing you plenty of flexibility on what exactly goes into each
