Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

You don't need a studio, but you do need some space for storage and a good kitchen table you can use when no one is eating there. Then you need to find what art area appeals to you most. In a very confined space, you won't be able to explore lots of different areas at the same time. So look at possible areas to employ your talents and get started with the one that appeals to you most.
