Couldn't resist this subject!

I paint sitting down. I do get up and walk around and view my work from a distance at intervals. I don't seem to have as much control over the paint brush standing up. I'm un-coordianted to say the least. For some reason, if I stand in one place too long, I get light headed. I can walk, or sit, but standing really gets to me. Since my eyesight is so bad, I wear a contact lens, but have to wear reading glasses to see up close.

This brings me to another concern I've been thinking about. Whenever I consider taking a workshop, my greatest fear is trying to paint standing up with the other students. Not, how my work will be viewed by others, or if I will fit in, but how will I look if I sit when everyone else is standing? Or what if I get one of those teachers that insist I must stand if I am to paint properly and I can't do it? Can't you just see it? I pass out and all the artists and their easels go down like dominos! Eeeeek!
