Hello my friends and welcome to Open Studio D. So today we're gonna talk about small tips for your art studio. So let's get started. Here we go! Always a question, how and where to dry your finished paintings. Yes, just simple drying rack. I know a lot of you are going through as an artist, organizing your art studio, are going through this problem where to dry your paintings, especially if you, as me decided, you know, when I decided to paint daily and I continue this matter of painting daily, I have a lot of pieces, a lot of canvases that are in a process of drying and I need to put them somewhere. My studio is very small in my basement and I have to utilize every square inch of my studio. And having big huge furniture is not acceptable for me. So I was looking for something else. Maybe shelves, I tried to use shelves but I bought maybe three shelves and put them in the wall and put paintings on the shelf against the wall. But again, sometimes I have 10 paintings that are in the process of drying and I don't have an extra space. So I came up with this simple idea and I would recommend it highly recommended because it's inexpensive. It's cost maybe from three to five dollars and from the one square foot of space you can have seven up to seven or sometimes up to ten spaces for your drying canvases or for the canvases that are in the process of drying. And the solution is very simple. The solution is this, just simple office file organizer. Yes, just simple file organizer. That will cost you maybe from dollar five to two, you know, five dollars the most. I bought this one from, I think from IKEA, paid dollar 50 and it has actually seven slots so I can put seven paintings at the same time. And what I love about this one, particular this one, is that the, you know, the distance from this point to this point is only eight inches. Normal regular standard shelf is ten inches, sometimes twelve inches. Let's say your shelf is five feet so you can put probably two of this drying rack or file organizer. For me, it's a drying rack and half, you know, if this is seven slots so you can put fourteen paintings to dry on a single shelf. Yes, instead of only two, you can put fourteen. Crazy. But this is a simple solution. So let's say you put this on your shelf, you have four or five feet shelf on your wall, just one. And you have two of this. When you finish your painting, you just drop it right in the slot, right in the opening like this. And then you finish another one, you put another one right here, right? And you can move them. Let's say you have a bigger, this is eight by ten. One is twelve by sixteen. No problem. Right here. And you have three. Very simple solution, very economical, inexpensive, and you can spend the rest of the money for your paintings, brushes, whatever, you know, canvases to paint, something that you're going through. Simple solution, old style, old-fashioned file organizer that you can buy from anywhere. And I will put the link in the description where to buy from probably from Amazon. You can get those organizers with five spacers or slots or up to ten. It's up to you. But I would recommend probably get if you're getting something measured distance back to front, make sure it's not exceeding the size of a standard shelf. You can install the shelf on your wall and you can put several of these files and start using it as a drying rack or as an analyzing rack. So this is my tip for today.
