I use the reddish paper that contractors use to protect floors. It's cheap, easy to tape down, and easy to fix if it tears. It can also be double layered or put over plastic to make a less slippery surface.

❤ Wow! Your creative ability and work ability are super 🎉. You can create four works per collection at the same time. A very good example to learn from. Thank you for your sincere sharing. May you be good luck good healthy and happy every day.

You amaze me. I have worked as a professional artist for now 50 years after my college days and you always enlighten me on new ways to accomplish large paintings. Thank you

Ohhh what you said about how your lighting is dispersed was so helpful.

[dollycatlin]

I did not see a link for your ring light.

Thank you for sharing all this, it's very helpful and generous and I love your videos and your work! When I was first looking at the start of this video I thought you taped the first painting to the glass door, which someone could also do if they had a sliding glass door in their work space, easy to clean!

I will get that plastic cover. I already ruined my hardwood floors in my sunroom (converted to) studio!!!!
Omg! That foldable working table behind the paper is a great Ty

I bought an indoor outdoor rug for my studio, I don’t worry about paint getting on it. Looks like a Pollock painting after a couple years. I don’t like using plastic tarp

[janshapiro]

[applesauceandhoney]

imo the plastic becomes slippery and you take the paint with you as you walk around. I prefer a light grey carpet, the cheapest I could find ;-))

I would take an old tapestry for the floor.

I’ve had a long career as a commercial painter. I don’t like working on plastic floor covering: paint stays wet on plastic and is slippery for longer than other floor protection. Construction supply stores carry rolls of floor protection made of a paper-like material in varying thicknesses. Working on plastic will cause you to track wet paint to other unprotected floor areas. NOT GOOD!
