Simple Studio Essentials I Actually Use

This week I’m sharing the type of easel chair I like along with some really handy items that make filming your painting process on your phone way easier! 

Why I love These

  • Allows you to quickly attach your phone to any tripod
  • Magnetic, no squishing your phone with old clip on types
  • Universal size

These magsafe items make filming clips of your art process so easy! I have a Samsung so my phone doesn’t have a built in magsafe magnet. No problem! Just get a magsafe case now you can take advantage of magsafe magnets to quickly attach your phone to a tripod! 

Why I love These

  • Makes it easier to see paint colors
  • Adjustable white balance and brightness through the app
  • Doesn’t have as much glare as other lamps I’ve used

They Elgato Key Light Air is intended more for streamers because it is so adjustable with brightness and white balance, plus it is lower glair than many other lights. That is exactly why I like it over my paint palette though. If you need a light over your easel to see, your palette likely needs one too. While I love the elgato, it is on the pricier side. Don’t worry, you can also use any clamp on daylight lamp like the ottlite. While I prefer the Elgato for not having as much glare, any daylight lamp will be better than not having one at all! 

Why I love These

  • Cushioned enough I can sit for hours comfortably
  • Foot rest is a must for me
  • Rolls easily to move between my easel and table with the palette

The stool I have in my own studio is a shorter one. I really REALLY want one of these taller ones though. The foot rest is a must for tall or short chairs for me (I’m not a tall person so that may be part of it). Being able to roll around is another must for me with the studio. I’ve had stationary chairs and stools before but these cushioned rolling types are SOOOO much better! This type was a huge quality of life improvement for how much time I sit on it! 

Get ready for cooler weather with me with these adorable ghost and bats!
