 Hey guys, we are back with another art room organization video. I know For this one, we're gonna have to get on the floor, but to be honest with you I'm too old to get on the floor if I get down there. I can't get back up again So I'm gonna grab the stool and I'm gonna sit down. All right, I'll be back So I'm sitting on a stool on the floor near that Why? Because we're gonna talk about paint and by association coloring supplies, I suppose So I have a specific way I Store my paints and coloring type supplies that really works for me. It's a new thing to the new space It's not the way I did it in the old space, but it definitely works here So I do have two Ikea carts and then the old space used to store a lot of my coloring supplies there It didn't really work for me, especially in the new space. It didn't but I have this wall back here Which I've put this some more of this white wire shelving on which I love which is from Target And then I've been Or boxed supplies by category. So let's review that shall we let me turn the camera. Okay lighting might be a little funny I do live in the Portland, Oregon area and It's overcast again outside Anyway, as you can see by these first few bins, I do have things Marked by category like these are just plain acrylic paints these as these are They're both acrylic paint and they're both marked as such But the clear bin is more artist acrylic paint things that you would use if you were painting a canvas These are more craft acrylic paints things you would use if you were just working in a journal or doing a craft project The this little bin in between is just because I had nowhere else to put that and I've got my museum wax Anybody who's lived in earthquake country, you know what that is. It's just stick your breakables down to your shelf So when you have an earthquake things don't readily fall over and break and then I have coarse salt ice cream salt in the back that I use for doing textures and some Painting things like with watercolor. This is another bin of acrylic paint, but this is mainly Dean awakening paint This here is specialty paints like fabric paint and actually I have nail polish in there Overflow of the art paints and actually white flow acrylic in the back I use the spaces between the bins to store sort of overflow until I use them up This down here is artist paints. These are made well except that decor Decorate bottle in the front. These are mainly golden paints golden fluid acrylic paints and golden fluorescent paints metallic paint ink We do have mediums over here. So we have glues finishes whoops where we have thin glues finishes This is again is overflow, but it's mostly pouring mediums Then we have just a general mediums tub Ink pads and yesterday. I was just fiddling around some stuff. So I've got this little tray stuffed in here of foils and foil glue which actually doesn't belong there So ink pads. I have these bins. These are specialty paints like acrylic wash My tubes of watercolor and that's that Daniel Smith tube bin Oil pastels whoops, wait a minute oil pastels soft pastels neo color twos and sharpies alcohol inks and reinkers Sprays don't have too many. I mean I still have to more than I need but there's not a ton. I don't think Some glitter glues and clear gesso again overflow Glitter and texture All your glitter textures foils and that's actually where that other bin goes Gesso and grounds and Then embossing stuff powders glue beeswax All that stuff All right up here We have a little another five drawer set of drawers and I've got powdered pigments I have a some acrylic paints. They're all just shades of gray some crayons and some liquid pencil again Which are shades of gray paints these are my Pen and pencil storage by color, which I love and was from a YouTube video That I saw here a While back and I love it so anything that I have pen or pencil wise that's red With a few exceptions, which I'll show you in a minute is in that red and pink bin So when I'm working on a journal page, I'm like, you know, I need to add some purple pencil I just go grab that purple bin and bring it to the table. It works great here. I have Extras of some of my favorite pens these are just overstock So when I run out of say a big pen at the table I run out of ink I just come over here and grab another one. So these first few cubby holes. That's what those are then as we including paint pens Because I have like one of each at the table But when I run out of paint in the pen, it dries up I come over here and grab a new one then as we go along we have the bigger fatter pens Which don't fit in the little cubby drawers mainly your big brush Paper is a favorite custom the pit pit pens favorite castell pit pens and also permapake Pens your chunky colored markers are over here. The little drawers underneath are just random things like paper bead supplies and leads and grinders and Empty watercolor paint pans and stuff like that up here By the way, here's the clock and it's going to be for sale. Somebody's interested message me I did that a while back Anyway, these are all crayons like water soluble crayons. So you've got your distressed crayons You've got your rose art crayons and highlighter crayons, which are water soluble and then you've got a bunch of these kind of sparkle crayons and I think there's some artists loft Like the watercolor crayons in here This is just something that just came in I need to put it away Another powder pigment which doesn't add some other ones that don't fit in that drawer over there Colored pencils and chunky paint pens, which I'm trying to use up Short colored pencils In colors and graphite, which I love to use and I usually use together So these are in this bin and again these come out and I can just bring this whole bin over to the table these are sort of spare multi pens and These sort of these are by Koi. There's the trying triangular multicolor color pencils and Pencil sharpener a random wooden stamp and some more powder pigments And down here in case you missed it. This is where I store all my watercolor paints I've labeled them for the most part on the side so I know which set is which because I do have quite a few of them in my collection and That's that this storage system works. I'm not showing you the details of the paint storage so I can brag about how much I have That's not the point and I built up my collection over years literally decades The Daniel Smith paint collection alone I would go into the art supply with 20 bucks and buy sometimes one tube of paint and it took me a long time to build up my collection I Also made a few mistakes like in the beginning I would take a class and they would say you need neo color twos and I thought you needed them all So I would buy just a set that had all of a minute You don't need to do that go out and find your local art supply store Even if it's a little bit farther away where they have open stock go get just a few in your favorite colors and go from there There's a tip. So anyway, this is how I store my paint coloring supplies. It works for me It works in my space. What do you do and what works for you?
