Hi Jason, I’ve noticed over the past few years you’ve solely made pastel videos(which I love), just out of curiosity, did you stop painting completely?
Thank you so much Jason for letting us into your studio! I truly appreciated your honesty about why you have samples of your completed working hanging around you! I have to remind myself all the time that I can create art, so I was very surprised to hear that you needed those reminders too! I love your work, and you’ve helped me so much to improve my skills. You are a true inspiration!!
Great tips to help the back. I keep a small heating pad on the back of the chair so I can lean back on it to allow my muscles to relax before walking around. It really helps with my stiffness.
Thanks for showing us how things are in the real world. Efficiency is much more important to me than fancy things. For most of us no one is viewing our space. We just need our space to work well for our needs.
I have the Bob Ross pops figure to lol. You’ve given me some ideas here and reminded me to take care of my back . I have sore lower back and my arms and hands get achy lately no matter what I’m doing . If I’m using my arms and hands they get sore these days . Getting older is not fun lolol . Ok well it’s still fun lol … especially since I have more time to do arts and diy’s / crafts etc. I feel happy and at peace when I’m doing art . Thank you Jason . Your teachings are doing more than you know for people . I truly feel art is my therapy . And I can express all the beauty I see in the world rather than focusing on the draining sad stuff like …. The news lol .
This is wonderful! I have a RUclips set up in my bedroom but it works great. I love your art wall and it makes perfect sense. So many of us keep our art in a portfolio hidden from sight. Mine is under the bed seen by no one. I've been on and off your Patreon for many years and have learned a ton of invaluable information from you. Thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much for the tour of your amazing studio. I love your space, and I appreciate all your tips for adjusting for a bad back and protecting your arms and shoulder. I also have problems in that area, so this was very helpful.
Your artwork is incredible of course, but right now I am thanking you for the arm rest idea. Not so much for myself as an artist although it will be good for me too, but for my husband who has als and is unable to hold both his arms up while he uses the computer. The right arm I help him lift onto the desk top and the left sits in his lap, but sometimes it falls. Though we have tried arm/shoulder slings he does not find them comfortable. I think this will work great! So thank you.
Your chair with the ductaped pillow is like my headphones. I must have a small head because every set of headphones is huge on me on the smallest setting, so I have to ductape paper in the head rest so It doesn't fall under my ears and hurt my jaw. If it works, it works
Thank you for this. It’s a struggle getting the base values right. Would love to see more tutorials on base colour values for different coloured furs, especially with shaded areas.
Merci pour cette visite! Très appréciée! De bonnes idées pour organiser mon espace aussi et aussi penser à prendre soin de ma posture. Vous êtes une personne généreuse dans vos enseignements et le partage de vos connaissances et expériences , c'est quelque chose de vraiment précieux . Merci beaucoup! J'aime beaucoup vous suivre même si la langue demeure un défi pour moi . Je trouve vos enseignements très détaillés et j'apprécie tous l'eventail des sujets disponibles.
Great stuff Jason. that was really informative. i allso often sit with a handfull of pencils .. and i have back problems too, so you have been a great help. you are always an insperation to me. Looking forward to your next one, 👍
Thank you so much for the tour of your studio I truly enjoyed it😊. I was surprised when I seen that you hung your art work on your wall because I just finished doing the same with mine.😊 I needed to see them around me. I thought why should they stay in my portfolio and not enjoyed, so I made copies of each one and hung the copies up and protected the originals. Now they are inspiration everytime I walk into my studio and even more now that I know you have done the same.❤ Thank you for all that you do do.
Thank you for this. I need help with posture and back pain so I will definitely try this. Glad I'm on your Patreon channel too. Thanks. for all your help.
I also love the foam board idea for hanging pastel drawings . Mine are just laying flat in drawers side by side and I’m quickly running out of space . I think I can probably store them in an album with those sheets between them that come in the packet of pastelmat papers ?? ( I’m not sure) but a combination of worrying about them getting messed up and just not having or taking the time to do it has me just letting them lay out everywhere until I found a cheap set of drawers at the thrift shop . My cat likes to walk on things lol so had to find a place for my art .
Bonjour !! Et merci pour cette vidéo très intéressante de par vos astuces pour protéger votre dos; Je vais les mettre en pratique car moi aussi je souffre du dos .Encore merci
I have to sit in a recliner, because I have stage 4 kidney disease and my feet will swell if they're hanging down. Then I use a lap table and I have a 4 compartment zippered bag right beside me that I have all my pencils organized together and in any empty zippered pallets, Putty, sanding pads etc...
I really loved the white board and magnets! I had an old white board lying around, collecting dust. Now I've put it on my easel and will use it! Do you have specific magnets you prefer?
I have back pain while doing my artwork as well, I found that if I put two tennis balls in a sock and roll by mid and lower back over this, it helps hit the pressure points and where I had not been painting for years, I have been enjoying doing my artwork once more.
Thank you so much. I was beginning to think that I was going to have to give up my art. As a type 1 diabetic with severe eye damage, I work too often with my head down. Consequently i have back issues similar to what you speak about for yourself. I was advised that if I could develop a loose style of painting, my back would be better, but I need detail. My ability to do pastel came to me when I already had lost a lot of my periferal vision so no I do not want to give up my love of detail. In spite of what I lost, I have gained so much in other ways because now I really do see.
Thank you for the timer& pillow modification.. I also developed a mid-back pain over time.😮 + agree with past work to feel good when some time has passed btwn work, glad to hear that's a real thing, thought it was just me! 😂 ?: what's keeping your board @ that angle?
I loved the tour! I have to ask, do you ever stand up too quick and bonk your head on the sloped areas? My husband and I are building a new house and there is a bonus room that has the same set up. I told him he could have that area because I would constantly be bonking myself on the ceiling. 😅
Hi Jason! Thank you for the tour of your studio! I love real.😊 I was just wondering about a printer because mine just won’t print color correctly, so was looking to upgrade.
I was just reading some reviews on the printer model and they were saying the ink is constantly running out, so maybe expensive to do. I have an HP now and they have a program where you just pay four bucks a month and they automatically send you the ink cartridges. I love that set up, but I’m not getting the prints that I want. Just wondering if you noticed that about it going through ink quickly and being expensive to keep up with that.

Thank you for making this video. That cardboard rest you’ve made to take the strain off your shoulders is a game changer Really informative video

thanks for the posture tips - ergonomics of painting is one of my big struggles with art

My dream is to have just a room for my art that i can create my own studio. Id love that. Maybe some day
Your chair with the ductaped pillow is like my headphones. I must have a small head because every set of headphones is huge on me on the smallest setting, so I have to ductape paper in the head rest so It doesn't fall under my ears and hurt my jaw. If it works, it works
Thank you for this. It’s a struggle getting the base values right. Would love to see more tutorials on base colour values for different coloured furs, especially with shaded areas.
I have LOTS of free videos on that here on YT :o)

Bonjour !! Et merci pour cette vidéo très intéressante de par vos astuces pour protéger votre dos; Je vais les mettre en pratique car moi aussi je souffre du dos .Encore merci
A great tour! Thank you. I’d love to know how you print A3 on two pages of A4. I’ve been trying to find a way to do this.
I think I have a video of it on RUclips
I have to sit in a recliner, because I have stage 4 kidney disease and my feet will swell if they're hanging down.

that is an inspirational outlook - thak you for sharing it with us
Thank you! Great tips. My biggest problem is proper lighting and a decent chair. Thanks for sharing your set up.
WOW! What an amazing setup you have! A VERY far cry from mine, which is just a card table LOL Maybe one day!
Thank you for the timer& pillow modification.. I also developed a mid-back pain over time.😮 + agree with past work to feel good when some time has passed btwn work, glad to hear that's a real thing, thought it was just me! 😂 ?: what's keeping your board @ that angle?
The board has adjustment to keep the angle.
Great studio! What is the timer’s brand?
Liorque - but there are lots online
This is Awesome!!!!!
Great video and loved the ideas to help my back! Thank you very much!
my pleasure
I loved the tour! I have to ask, do you ever stand up too quick and bonk your head on the sloped areas? My husband and I are building a new house and there is a bonus room that has the same set up. I told him he could have that area because I would constantly be bonking myself on the ceiling. 😅
only about 10 times per day ha....
Hi Jason! Thank you for the tour of your studio! I love real.😊 I was just wondering about a printer because mine just won’t print color correctly, so was looking to upgrade.
Paper is most important. Get matt photo quality paper 👌
I was just reading some reviews on the printer model and they were saying the ink is constantly running out, so maybe expensive to do. I have an HP now and they have a program where you just pay four bucks a month and they automatically send you the ink cartridges. I love that set up, but I’m not getting the prints that I want. Just wondering if you noticed that about it going through ink quickly and being expensive to keep up with that.
I have the HP with the program too but eventhough I use the paper Jason advised, the colours are not great :(@@connieebinger6343
So where do you stash all your other art supplies (oils, watercolors etc etc)?
I'll show that next time :)
Do you still do oil painting tutorials and videos?
not for a long time, everyone wants me to do pastels now
Hi jason, what make is your drawing desk?
Wow you have lost weight it really suits you you look younger😊
put a bit on actually, perhaps its the camera ha.... or your mixing me up with someone else ?
