Scholarly artist's workroom is found by you and me (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

studious

'scholarly' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'artist's workroom is found by you and me' is the wordplay.
'artist's workroom' becomes 'studio' (I've seen this in another clue).
'is found by' says to put letters next to each other.
'you and me' becomes 'us' (the two of us).
'studio'+'us'='STUDIOUS'

(Other definitions for studious that I've seen before include "Like a good schoolboy" , "Bookish, sedulous" , "Academic, diligent" , "Deliberate and painstaking as in reading" , "working hard" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
