Setting Up Your Work Space



Before you begin your painting project, it is important that you start with an organized station from the very beginning. How it is set up will depend greatly on which hand is your primary hand and what is most comfortable for you. The position of the piece you are working on should be such, allowing you to be comfortable while working. No bending or straining should occur while you are painting.


As for the position of your water, brushes, paint, and any other tools, they should be located where it is easiest for your primary hand to reach. This area should be kept uncluttered to avoid any spills or mishaps. The items you use the most should be close to you. Other items that are not needed as often can be stored behind your brushes and paint, or even placed behind your project.


The main thing to consider when you are setting up your station is that your items are easy to access. They also need to be arranged to avoid running your hand or arm through the paint, or even knocking off one of the items from your work station. This could be a real mess if you were to knock your paint off! Take precautions to avoid disasters from the start.
