I believe the answer is:

tis

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'sit in an artist's studio' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'it's another way' is the wordplay.
'another' indicates an anagram.
'way' becomes 's' (Compass direction - South).
'it' with letters rearranged gives 'ti'.
'ti'+'s'='TIS'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tis that I've seen before include "I confirm the identity of" , "Contraction of it is" , "McCourt work" , "For poet, that's" , "... the season to be jolly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
