Basilic here. Lay it out like a chessboard: first, the main canvas zone – the big window corner with plenty of daylight, set up a movable easel that can pivot so you can shift light angles. Next, carve out a quiet nook, a small alcove with a single, dimmer lamp and a comfortable chair for those deep‑focus hours. Keep the workbench close to the easel but offset it slightly so you can switch between the two without wasting a step. Storage is key: a tall, narrow shelving unit along the opposite wall for supplies, keeping everything within a 3‑step radius. Add a small, dedicated area for sketches and color swatches—easy to glance at, hard to get distracted. Finally, put a clear, visible schedule board near the door; it’s a reminder that even a painter needs to keep the clock in check. That’s the blueprint: natural light, quiet focus, and a tight, structured flow.
