Studio Safety & Materials
​Creating safely is essential, especially for those of us working in home studios or navigating chronic health conditions. This section offers guidance on safe pigments and mediums for oil painting, solvent-free options, proper studio ventilation, and sustainable cleanup practices. Empower your creativity without compromising your health.
