My Future House: Part 4

This one is all about an art studio. I love to paint, draw with all kinds of media, work with clay, and do all kinds of stuff. I want one big art studio that I can go to just to work on this stuff. It's really hard to do any type of art when you do not have good space, both referring to the amount of space and the things surrounding you.

The most important thing I would want is big windows. Something that will allow me to get amazing natural light, a steady breeze, and great visual stimulation. I need whatever I'm working on to face the windows too. Looking outside, into the sky or the landscape, allows my mind to wander and daydream. This is where my inspiration comes from. I would also have a little speaker system set up next to me for my ipod, since I have different playlists for different mindsets. (I should do a post of all my different playlists. Haha.)

Of course, organization is a big thing. I want my studio to have all the things I love in it, so trying to keep everything separated and orderly would be a challenge, but I don't think I'd have a problem with it. I love the picture above, that looks like a giant beehive. I think I could do that with pencils, paints, and things that won't be horrible if it falls over. But things like charcoal or crafty pieces would need to be in labeled boxes. (I say this cause I love keeping art stuff organized. My room is a different story.)

I love the picture above. The big open, empty space looks perfect for a studio. I could get a ladder and hang paintings above everything. There is also good space for all the sections I would want, as stated earlier. One area would have my easel, music, and a chair and little table in the corner of the windows. One area would have all my painting things, another with all my drawing and sketching things. I would need a couch or comfy chair, obviously, since I would spend all my time in there! Another section for crafty things. (These would be wood crafts, stenciling, and stuff like that.) I'd need to get a pottery wheel! I took a pottery class and absolutely loved it! It was challenging while being fun at the same time, which I loved. I would want a good place to store my photography things, and to work on framing and stuff. I don't know if I would want a section for scrap-booking, but I think I would if I had some space.

I know this is what my studio would end up looking like. HA! (See above.) The shelves, while organized for me, looks disorderly and like a giant heap of growling madness. Inspiration all over the room! I especially love the... mummy?... in the corner there. Haha. I could even make little shoe-box dioramas for each major thing I'm working on. Then I could keep them on shelves up high and look to them for ideas and inspiration when I needed to.

Okay.. I think I need to stop talking about this. Clearly, it's something I think about a lot. I think this may be the longest posting I've ever done.
