When do you paint

[kevinsho27]

Just out of curiosity, do most of you set aside time to paint or are you more spontaneous about it?

Weekends and days off usualy, as I\'m too tired coming home from work, so I vegitate on these forums.... Miles better than TV.

Whenever I geet a chance, if I\'m away at work then I will paint in the evenings otherwise at home when the wife is out at work.

 

[Margo]

Whenever I feel like it. Flexible work schedules rule But most of the time the time when I feel like it is in the evenings.

I spontaneously set time aside...


Lately, I have been forcing myself to sit and paint (at least at first), after work.

After a few minutes of painting, I really begin to enjoy myself, and the whole evening flies by. It is just that \"getting started\" part that is so tough for me.

I know what you mean. I find it hard to get started sometimes.

Painting is usually the first thing on my mind when I wake up, but I can then go for a couple of hours thinking about it before I actually sit down at the painting table. But then, once I sget started, there\'s no stopping me . I can paint from early afternoon until late morning (and no, I don\'t work or go to school right now )

As soon as I get a job/go back to school, it\'ll change though and I\'ll probably paint on evenings and weekends.

i normally paint when ever i have done everything i need to do in the day, so ususlly from about 7 to bed

 

[Mosch]

At night usually.

I\'ve tried to set a time but it never worked for me. I\'m just not a schedule person who can be creative on pressing a button.

Yeah, I\'m on summer vacation, so I umm....wake up around 1:30, eat, eat more, do some biking, soccer, eat, haul wood, eat, golf, and then paint until 2am or so.

 

[Greymane]

I started painting again because it was quiet and I could do it during frequent bouts of insomnia. There isn\'t a whole lot to do when you wake up with a \'ping\' regularly at 4am.
I do it now as a when I get time.
@ nelson you sleep for nearly 12 hours a day enjoy it while you can. I haven\'t slept that long in 10 years or so.
and If you don\'t want us to believe your stereotypical lumberjack picture try to refrain from statements about \'hauling wood\'

Yeah, age does that to you....

Tooshy, where are ya?

 

[stresingj]

No option for both

I paint whenever I can find 30 minutes, and I set aside time to paint. As a stalwart member of DC Minipainters (DCMP), we get together once a month for an afternoon to paint, and I also try to paint at once or twice in hour long sessions over the weekend.

Truth be told, I don\'t get enbough time in at the moment because of grad school, but come December, watch out.

Cheers,
jack

Evenings and weekends.

I\'m often thinking about painting, during the day. Actually I tend to think and plan more than i do, I come up with all these ideas for cool conversions and armies, but as I\'m spending all my time thinking about them, I never actually get round to doing them.

 

[Warworks]

I paint full-time, so I\'m always painting during the day. But when I\'m painting my own stuff, I usually do it in the late evening and go until I can\'t see anymore.

If I want to paint for myself, I have to do it at night, but I don\'t always choose to. So I guess it\'s spontaneous, within a framework.
