Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 C., I, too, cannot stand at an easel, but since I like working in watercolors, and using the mouse to draw and paint, I have found some viable substitutes for that. It took me a long time to adjust to a new way of doing things, but it is fun. Not high art, for sure, but a good way of self-expression. Maybe you could try it? Just a thought.

Guest guest Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 C., Did you know that there is a pen attachment for your computer keyboard specifically for drawing and painting? I don't happen to have one because I don't need it, yet, but you might try contacting your computer's manufacturer and seeing about one. It just goes where the mouse does, is my understanding. Also, you can use acrylics with the canvas flat or at a slight angle on a drafting table. They dry so fast that they don't tend to run or glop like oils. Also, montage, collage, sculpture and pottery are all sitting activities that can give you the outlet, too. Loving hugs, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
