Sit on a stool in front of a deck. Anchor wrists to the desk, and elbows to knees. However, I only paint for a short amount of time, maybe 15 minutes, more than one session per day. assembly-line. I think I’ve seen only one article on posture and painting, written with the help of a physical therapist. Wasn’t more than common sense, though.

Avoid sitting, or at least prioritize which activities you will spend sitting. I spend a fair amount of my time on my back, particularly with the social isolation. I also have a bedtime stand so I can read my tablet upside-down. Basically, improving your painting posture alone isn’t going to help if you do other activities that don’t help your back.
