How to Choose between a dedicated space and a dual-use space for Pastels painting

?

You have two options for setting up a workspace: a dedicated space and a dual-use space. Having a space dedicated to pastel work is ideal. You can think without distractions, work, and make a mess to your heart's content. But what if an art-only space is an indulgence you can't afford? You may only have a corner in a shared area of the house to work. Here are some issues to consider about each option:

A dedicated space: A dedicated space is devoted only to your pastel work. One argument for a dedicated space is that pastels generate dust. Even though pastels are generally considered to be non-toxic, dust is bad for your lungs (and the lungs of your family and pets). A dedicated space helps you keep dust corralled in one separated area. (Flip to "Creating a healthy, dust-free workspace" later in this chapter for more on dealing with the dust issue to create a healthy environment in your studio.) A dedicated space can also keep you focused on the task at hand. Are you one of those people who can't work in a beehive of activity and need peace and quiet? If so, you may need to carve out a space where you can get away from the bustle if at all possible.

A dual-use space: A dual-use space is a work area that isn't set aside just for your artistic endeavors; it may have an alternate life as your family room, basement you get the idea. If your mind is always on the activity in other parts of the house, a dual-use space in the middle of the action may be the best option for you.

Although having a dedicated space may be ideal, for most people just starting out, a dual-use space is going to be the norm. After you get a feel for how you work and how involved you're becoming in the medium, you may be able to find the room to eke out a dedicated space.
