"Now we're setting up our workspace which I've done. What you want to do is get a nice flat table that is big enough for you to lay all of your materials out in front of you so you'll have comfortable working space. Have a comfortable chair make sure that you have some really good lighting around you so that you can see what you're doing so that you are not working in the dark. Also make sure that you put down your plastic to protect your table to catch any drips spills that might happen. Make sure that you have some paper towels close by or a rag because in case you knock over your water or something, you want to be able to have something close by. Then make sure that you fill your water up and you don't need a ton of it this is a really good amount actually. If you are right handed, I would suggest set your water and brushes up on the right side and if you're left handed, vice versa so you are not crossing over yourself and making it more difficult. That is about it, you're ready to go."
