Nice Software
Guides
Notes on studio management, materials, and the business side of a painting practice.
These guides cover the parts of running a painting practice that rarely get written about directly: invoicing collectors and galleries, tracking studio hours in a way that actually holds up for grants and commissions, and formulating repeatable pigment and material batches. Each one is written from real studio workflow, not general small business advice, and links to the specific Nice Software tool built for that part of the job.
