Sit-down or stand-up to paint?
I am a sit-down painter and cannot seem to break this long-time habit (even though it might improve my work).
It started long ago in art school. I have always had crummy vision (not glassed correctable) and have to be on top of something to see it. We drew from life 3 hours per day, 5 days per week - for three solid years.
Because I am tall, nobody behind me could see unless I sat down. I got used to this and just never seemed to be able to stand up and draw or paint.
How do others on this Forum work?
