To Sit or Stand?
Having recently watched a video posted by (Then and Now: Philip de László - YouTube) about Philip De laszlo on s post, I couldnt help but take note of the presenter talking about De Laszlo's painting approach of constantly stepping back.
Ive also heard it suggested that Sargent wore a path in the floor of his studio and could "walk" several miles for a painting while constantly checking his work.
I also know artists like James Gurney and Frank Frazetta among many others (Leyendecker+Rokwell??) typically work seated.
I have, for many years, worked from a drafting table. That said, I also encounter many errors in draftsmanship that may be resolved by taking the Sargent approach. Unfortunately, I have no easel (or space presently) but am wondering everyone's thoughts on sitting vs standing.
Do you think this is purely a matter of preference or is there more to it?
Do you prefer to sit or stand while working?
