Empty coffee cans can be very functional after the fact. Use them to mix paint, store items. I keep my varnishing brushes suspended in solvent with the lid holding the brush. Here you can see some of my supplies and tools.
Many of my paintings were painted on the floor since they were of a very large format and I could move and visualize better.

If you hear a voice within you say ‘you cannot paint,’ then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.
