I live in a seriously tiny studio apartment with my husband -- no really, the apartment is less than 200 square feet! It's been an interesting adventure to figure out how to make the space work for us, and how to include a studio space for me to work in.
After a lot of experimenting, I think I've created a space that works for well for me -- as well as leaving some space for S to work in also. :)
I like to surround the workspace with colors and textures I like. I adore this vintage postcard we picked up in Austin on our trip earlier this year.
To fit everything in a tiny space, I got an French Easel to hold works-in-progress. As a bonus, it also doubles as a place to store my paints and brushes. Most of my paintings are done in acrylic paint, but lately I've been experimenting with more watercolor, colored pencils, and pen and ink.
I hope you enjoyed seeing the studio tour! You can also check out some of my finished pieces at my portfolio website or my Etsy shop!

Thanks Sudhama! Hopefully you can come see it yourself sometime! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm already working on some new pieces -- looking forward to sharing them with you all!
ReplyDeleteI love it! and I love your art! Acrylics intimidate me something fierce but your work is beautiful. Maybe I will give them another go.

Thanks so much Joy!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely give acrylics another try! Personally, I love them because they dry so fast it's easy to paint over parts I don't like. :)
Oh my gosh, I love your space! Your creative supplies are all so neat & organized. I love it. :) also... oh man! I know all about living in a tiny studio space. I think our first studio was about the same size! Definitely no more than 300sq ft. So tiny!
ReplyDeleteThanks Latrina! Although I have to be honest, the studio space does not always look this tidy! :) I'm planning on sharing more photos of the apartment...mostly to get advice on setting up such a tiny space -- would love to hear your advice!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteLuckily, we had a Murphy bed in our studio, so that helped out on saving space A LOT. If you like (and if this actaully works) I have photos of our previous studio apartment on FB if you'd like to see! :)

Wow, your place was gorgeous! Love the hardwood floors and big windows. And the Murphy bed is fantastic -- what I would give for that in our space! :)
