About me (bio) :
Website :

I am an artist living and working in France. I learned the techniques of the Atelier of the Nineteenth century and now I try to share some of my knowledge with the rest of the world, because I think that beauty still has an important role to play in artistic creation. I do mostly drawing and oil painting, and my goal is always to provide techniques, thoughts and explanations that can be useful to anyone, from beginners to more advanced artists.
The material I use most of the time (not necessarily in this video) :

Thanks for watching !
the dream of any artist ,a space only for painting .im sure you will create amazing art pieces there
Amen! I pray for a space that would be just me and the paints!
@@drgenoese ... and have you prayed something already?
You are a gift. It’s a miracle that I have access to good teachers via TH-cam. So grateful.
The mirrors are a great idea. Thank you.
I put my easel on a board with wheels so I can move it around to 'follow' the light in my place and move it out of sight of guests.
I also put a narrow, height adjustable shelf under where the canvas sits on the easel. I have my palette on it and some thinners and brushes. The board the wheels are set on under the easel holds the tubes of paint and paper towels. Works well for me. My palette is an old framed, glass picture frame with changeable coloured papers to go under it. I can put tape along the edges where the frame meets the glass to prevent oil and thinners from seeping under the edge of the frame and under the glass.. I was surprised at how well it works.
Thank you for sharing this.
Nice ideas. That's what my cat does, moves with the sunlght.
Wow... A precious and great place. Congratulations Florent for such a good acquisition. As always, many successes and health. Thanks for sharing the video and the fantastic list of materials! A big friendly hug!
I’ve seen artists on Portrait artist of the year use mirrors to get a different view of their paintings. I always wondered about that. Your new studio looks amazing
I think Da Vinci already wrote about this back then... it's a great trick.
I can paint without a mirror around. Lazy about stepping back and looking 😂
AWESOME SET-UP! I ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS. YOU ARE BECOMMING A YOUNG MASTER! THANKS FOR ALL YOU TIPS AND INFO. GOD BLESS YOU.
My 'studio' has lots of things in it that don't relate to my art and it's crowded and messy. Time for a deep clean and reorganisation. Thank you for the tips Florent and may you have many happy hours painting in your lovely studio. Love from the Southern Hemisphere :)
Thanks Irene. All the best with your studio makeover. It's a great feeling once it's done 😄
arts congratulations ....please if you feel it can you perhaps do more of the plein air from the site in your last plein air video. It was so beautiful to see, and as a viewer you were captivating....and beautiful piece. Thank you, best wishes
Thank you for these 5 tips, Florent. I appreciate your first floor with a place to store the paintings.
For my part, due to the lack of space dedicated to painting, I have found the solution of a rack with picture hangers very practical, but it quickly becomes limited. I would like to have an attic or a room where I could let go my arm without fearing for the walls... grey or otherwise
This studio is NICE!!!
I love it, Florent. Great tips too, thank you for sharing.
Great tips, especially the tip regarding the color of the walls of the studio. Congratulations for the new studio!
Great studio
Congratulations on the new studio! May you produce great pieces there!!
Congratulations Florent! Your studio is wonderful
Love your Studio.I needed these tips.ty
Fascinating analysis and solution informing your studio design.
So happy for you to have this creative space! I spent all of last year building mine...and I love it so much!
My "studio" is just a tiny spot next to the window in my tiny studio flat me and my girlfriend share :D but this is a great reference for the future. Some things even already apply. I put all of my art stuff that I don't regularly use into a cabinet and only keep the essentials on a small coffee table next to the easel. It's so much tidier now.
A small piece of frosted plastic to diffuse the the light from the sky light
A studio to be very proud to show around. Wish you many contented hours of creativity.
You have an amazing studio, congratulations!!
I'm here from a documentary about Leonardo Da Vinci that you were in 😁
Awesome studio bro!!
Excellent
Wow! You have a great space, mine is 7 ft wide by 49 ft long which is also my laundry room, my cats space by my window and my art storage. Thankfully huge windows facing north but when patrons want to see my studio, I refuse because it isn’t a beautiful space like my art.
One day, I’ll afford a proper studio and office 😊
Great ideas. I like the idea of standing up painting, and space to move around.
Congrats!
Thank you for this fab studio tour and tips on what's good for working efficiently.
Excellents conseils. Et très beau studio 👍
Merci beaucoup 😄👍
Thanks for shararing your studio with us.
My pleasure 😊
Fantastic space for your studio! You are inspirational. Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations for your studio....i hope you enjoy and use to its maximum
Love this studio!!
Omg. Best video I've seen all year 😂🏆
Congrats pal! You're the best 🔥🔥🔥🔥
nice trick with this mirrors :P
Really nice!
Your studio is Very cool I love it 👌❤👍🎨🎨
And here I am fumbling around in the corner of my living room. I don’t have room for anything more than a small desk with a table easel. Getting a studio is very hard out here. For all the artists studios you have to apply for it and write a businessplan. Who ever writes the best businessplan gets the studio.
Just an idea...if all the cabinets had wheels with lock ...you could move around near your painting whenever you want and park them...also you could move around to clean the room easily
Congratulations on your fantastic new studio! Great tips!
Do you have a work table to do the "messy work" (stretching canvases, priming canvases, garnishing paintings and framing them)?
Hi florent. window must face north, for stable all day light. Sun light this way will not disturb artist eye.
😊
Great! Did you find this place as a separate studio , away from your home, or did you move with your family , living in this big house , and this is just a part of the new home? Thanks!)**
Could you do video on how to photograph your painting please
How do you avoid scratching your glass palette? I bought one, but my palette knives gouged the glass mixing colors.
Anyone know when his color wheel poster will be available again
Its very important to declutter art studios time to time or else we tend to hoard so much..
Merci pour cette vidéo, tu ne parles pas du tout de l'aération et cela est normalement important pour l'huile, as tu installé un système de ventilation en particulier ?
How big of an area do you basically need to start a painting studio?
Do your have an air purifier?
Est tu en France ?
we have same atelier maestro but i have 24 subscribers inaf.
Lighting is a problem for sure. Artificial daylight colour lamps are fine when natural light is inadequate but if painting late, as you do, it also upsets natural circadian rhythm which is very poor for health. I generally aim to turn them off by 8 pm for that reason.
I agree with sleep cycles, but not painting in the evening is not an option for me...
I wanted to let you know your choice of neon (florescent) lights in your studio is a problematic health choice. You need to research this issue. Many NYC office building have gotten rid of them for this health issue. They disturb normal body vibrations or something like that. All the best!
