Join me for an exciting art haul as I showcase all the amazing new additions to my studio from the past month! From organizing hacks to make my workspace more efficient, like a new pen organizer and paint storage cubes, to a compact sewing machine and a rolling cart for my fiber arts projects, there's a lot to see. I'll also be sharing some fantastic art books I've picked up, reviewing the new Arteza gouache, and unboxing this month's Sketchbox and Stencil Club stencils. This video is packed with studio updates and art supplies that I can't wait to share with you all. Don't miss out on these inspiring and practical ideas for your own creative space!

I just love your art haul videos. They can be dangerous though to my bank account. 😂 Too much fun.

What a fun video and a wonderful haul. You are so fortunate to have all that space in spite of the fact that you think it’s not enough. It’s never enough! I work in my kitchen, so there is nothing nearby. I have all these supplies that I forget about. I have a set of those blender brushes from another company. I use them when I am using ink pads for blending. One of the great things about them is that you don’t really have to clean them. I just take them and rub them back-and-forth against the paper towel and voilà. Some wonderful books too… I have Robyn’s book and it has some great techniques. If you ever feel so inclined, I would love to see you do a mixed media piece that also includes fabric.

I have haul envy!! And that gift from your friend...amazeballs!

Ah! Too funny, I just got that Gel Plate Printing book recently! It's really cool! And I have that Fragmentation and Repair on my list lol... glad to hear you like it, now I'll probably get it.

Hey Denise! Love your studio tour with all the cool updates. Especially love that baby sewing machine and the book about fiber arts and where your art journey may take you in the future. I got my sewing machine out last week and have been toying with the idea of incorporating some hand and machine stitching into my collage. Isn’t that fun to think that we are on the same path on our art journeys? 😁

P.S. I am really enjoying your journal class on skillshare. I just ordered some binding supplies so I can make the big mixed media journal and now I’m thinking I might have to throw in some extra fabric substrates so I can do some stitching. If any of you readers out there are interested in book binding and thinking of taking this class, I highly recommend it!

I always enjoy your art haul videos. I am glad you have to re-arrange your studio to fit all your new toys. I seem to spend quite a bit of time doing this, so it's reassuring it's not just me. Also the blending brush is lovely to use through a stencil it gives a really fine texture. Keep the videos coming.

I love tins, but my favorite thing to collect is old cigar boxes! ❤ ❤❤❤

I always get soooo inspired by your hauls Denise! It's kind of comforting to know that you suffer the same temptations I do...books, colour, textures...ahhh we want them all. I bought the Shelley Rhodes books a while back..theres a few in the series. They are fantastic!! Love the feel of the covers ❤❤❤. Great video.😊 let's start bookaholics anon!!

[ChantelleArts]

what an incredible haul, I love it ☺☺

Just a suggestion here: think about adding some plastic or cardboard dividers to your Neocolor II tin and separate the colors by warm, cool and neutrals. That way it would be easier to find the color you need.

Ms. Denise! I ❤ what you do in all you videos. This video is inspiring me to get my Art Shed together😅 I'm new to Art/ painting, coming from a photographic background myself. Thanks for all you do it's very helpful.

Denise love your setup! You may have already seen or heard about the create room dream box 2. I was fortunate enough that my hubby bought me one last year for birthday and Christmas. If i could post a pic i would! Its awesome! Thought you might want to check it out!

[yovamccoy]

I love to flip through your new books with you! I too should be in a Books Anonymous program. You reminded me of a book I already have: The Sketchbook Explorations. Thanks for sharing the changes you made in your studio. I am looking forward to the video where you use your new sketchbox and stencils.

Interesting timing regarding the sewing machine. I have sewing for years and recently get back into painting. I have been thinking lately that I would love to sew scraps into collage landscapes. Regarding space, I have a small area for art. Storage and accessibility are always an issue. If I don’t see it, I forget about it. I really appreciate the importance of making materials accessible.

[trdewey]

Love these organization videos! I also have a 10 x 10 bedroom studio and am constantly re-arranging to suit what I am doing at the moment. I am interested in learning watercolor and gouache to add to my art practice and this was so helpful! I would also love to see some introductory tutorials on watercolor and gouache!

[lindakuck]

Cool art haul and awesome deal on the gouache! Thanks 😊 ❤

[KoolKookyKreatures]

❤️ a fabulous haul - love all the sketchbooks/journals you have been making. The Shelley Rhodes books are great - I have both of them :) 😊

[leeannduraan]

I have always said that you are my sister from another mother..and again we are on the same wavelength without even knowing it. I have also recently started exploring working & bringing textile onto my art. Can't wait to see what you plan to do!! So exciting. Thank you for sharing those books. They look awesome!

[dreamwoodsbutterfly]

I love the art journals you made, beautiful!
