Reply To: Time for a new hobby chair, what do you use?

I’ve recently found a very comfortable new way to paint my minis…
In the sofa, with my feet up on the small table and a wet pallet on my lap. Paints I’m going to use are next to me in an empty ice-cream box and the clean-water cup on the lid of the wet pallet together with a tissue, also on my lap. I was very surprised this position felt so comfortable and I have less problems with back-aches now, so I can paint much longer then 1 single hour. It’s also nice not to have a wall in front of my nose.
The only thing I still need to figure out is how to bring easy and good portable daylight to my lap-workspace.  Maybe I should build myself some sort of an Anglerfish-helmet 😀
The missus also likes it a little more that I now sit in the sofa next to her instead of on a desk far away… and the fear of spilling paint in the sofa is weakening day by day… (I’m still a bit afraid to spill my beer though…).

The distraction of the tv is sometimes a bit hard though, especially when I’ve been painting for more than an hour in the evening, my eyes are getting tired and it gets harder to focus again on a mini after looking at the tv-screen for a few seconds… The sharpness back on the mini comes slower and slower.

But so far, I’m glad with this comfortable position so I can paint a little more again 🙂
