I had an idea that I haven't yet acted on. I sit on a barstool to paint. When I get tired of sitting, I want to stand for a while, which is fine when working from photos, but not from life.

So I'm considering removing the seat from the bar stool and adding a block of wood (or a plywood box) to make up the difference between my sitting height, and standing height, and remounting the seat at the higher altitude. That way, sitting or standing, I'll be at the same height. Of course, I'm very short, so it won't take much to raise the chair. Those of you who are more vertically blessed may have difficulty with this.
