Morphology

artist's + workroom

The meaning 'a room where an artist works' is directly and compositionally derived from 'artist's' (possessive of artist) plus 'workroom' (a room for work). This possessive + noun construction is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily understand the MWE.

Etymology

The phrase artist's workroom comes from a simple image of an artist's workroom, a room where the artist paints, draws, or makes art. So it means 'a room or space where an artist works'.
