The Painter in oil

The Size of the Studio. - Of course a large studio is a good thing, but it is not always
at one’s command. But you should try to have the room large enough to let you work
freely, and have distance enough from the model. The size that I have mentioned, twelve
feet by sixteen, is as small is one should have, and one that you can almost get. If the
room is smaller than that, you cannot do much in it, and fifteen by twenty will give
ample space.
