fav sweets while painting?

[Davyboy74]

I dont doubt this has been asked before, but im relatively \'new\' here (only been here a year) so i would have missed it, plus im too lazy to check all the previous threads anyway.

Do you sometimes like eating sweets (thats \'candy\' for you yanks) while you paint? I know you do! Dont try to deny it! Ive seen the \'tell-tale\' wrappers lying at the side of some submission pictures! lol

If you do, please vote for your favourite

Thanks

I don\'t eat many sweets (I like them all, but after a couple pieces I lose my taste for them), but pastries, cakes and candy corn are the bane of my existence! I\'ve got a big bucket of candy corn that I have been nursing for a while now. lol

What is candy corn? Sounds lovely

 

[mattsterbenz]

It\'s a halloween candy here in the states.

It\'s basically pure sugar. There\'s a bit of honey and wax in the ingredients. They do sort of have wax-like qualities!

Not talented enough to eat and paint at the same time. And plastic minis look absolutely atrocious with teeth marks, so I avoid any activity while painting.

I don\'t really eat candy; just don\'t care for it. Any candy that might be lying around my house belongs to my daughter. I don\'t even really like soda (or pop or whatever you might call it).

The only \"snack food\" that I really get into is sunflower seeds and even then I only eat them while watching baseball games (live or on TV).

I can barely remember to drink, much less eat anything while painting. Let many a mug of coffee go cold, and with my thermal mug, that can take up to 5 hours.

I think I talk to myself too, working out mixes and planning my work. Hard to tell.

Can\'t say that I actually eat sweets while painting.
The occasional snack bar or KitKat perhaps, but I try to take breaks to eat, drink or Pee rather than sit all day. Plus eating anything which leave bits in the mouth in\'t good if you are a brush licker.

I concur, muslie + paint = muslie on minis..

I try not to eat while painting, as I am a brushlicker. At conventions I have been known to be enticed by Sue Wachowski into eating all sorts of chocolate-covered decadence, but it\'s only because of the repeated physical violence.

You actually get up to pee? I keep empty Gatorade bottles under my desk. Maximizes productivity.

Kidding, of course lol

EDIT: Why do I have a strange feeling like someone is going to put that in their signature and I am going to regret saying it for all eternity? lol

chocolate ALL the time.. i love the stuff and go through at least two of the large (£1.55 ish ) Dairy milk bars a day while painting.. Als constantly rack up my greenhouse emmissions by making cups of tea... My worst habit and I\'m trying to stop is smoking.. It\'s dirty disgusting and makes my clear effects go yellow not to mention annoying little ash particles always appearing when photographing etc.. I do ejoy t but really need to quit the buggers.

Yeah, what he said... And, if I really want to indulge myself I have a beer or a glass of whiskey. :drunk:

I don´t eat whilst I paint, just drink copious amounts of vino.

I love Chinese made Chocolate, filled with Melamine!

MMM MMM Toxic!

This definately needs a none of the above option.

I can\'t recall ever eating while I paint. I do often have a 2L of pop nearby in case I get thirsty (never use a cup too similar to paint water).

I eat sweets during the holidays, Halloween coming up is a good example. I\'ll probably injest more chocolate in the 2 weeks following the 31st then the rest of the year. I will have some more around Xmas as people tend to have bowls of chocolate at parties, and then I\'ll probably wait until Easter when I pick up a couple Kinder Eggs.

As for treats, I\'m a huge fan of Cheese and Crackers, Dorito\'s, Breadsticks, Plain Chips and Nachos. None of which are sweet.
