Linda, when I was building my studio (by remodeling a very old riverside cottage on our property) I researched wall colors; at the time people seemed to recommend either a cream color or a bright white. I went with the bright white, but it's broken up by a lot of windows and I also have a sliding glass door onto a deck with steps down to the nearby dock (I actually watched a muskrat nibbling grass today - right outside the window - while I was painting). I also installed a fan to exhaust fumes, although I use very little medium. I wanted to include a dais for models, but unfortunately the stairs took up that room. Linda Brandon's suggestion is an excellent one.

What fun to be designing your own space!
