    Getting it cleared and going to make two desks were we can sit and paint.

    Anyone else got a dedicated hobby space?

    ha ha, i used to be tucked away in the garage. But now have a kind of dedicated paint room. Unfortunately It doubles as a guest room, and since we are living abroad we get guests who stay for quite a while on a regular basis. Also in summer my oldest daughters room gets really hot so she then sleeps in the guest room as well. But apart from that.....it is all mine!!! ;)

    Dining room table also. That is, back at my parent's. I move flats so often over the past five years space is a premium and the hobby has paid the price...

    I have the top of my drawers at school and used my desk sometimes, my painting station is very mobile. When I am at home I use a small end table with some desk lamps

    I just paint on the same desk I do homework on. It's the only place I can really focus on the painting and not other people, etc. It also has the nice atmosphere of being below a shelf filled with other painting projects and a collection of colorful dinosaur toys where some of my color schemes are inspired by. My first rule to painting is to paint where you feel most at home with what you paint. :)

    If I was cursed blessed with this setup...
    [​IMG]
    ...I would get a big piece of cloth for a photo backdrop. I would hang it somehow from those exposed rafters. And it would be right there ready for when you want to snap a picture of something.

    It always helps to have a comfortable dedicated painting station!
