What do you girls and guys like to do when you paint your PYO’s, or just do artsy things in general? Do you listen to music or the tv, talk to yourself (or the PYO you’re working on), make sure everything is quiet so you can concentrate?
I have a 13in tv playing in the background (I don’t face it, it’s too my back). Always. I keep it turned to a repeat of a show I’v watched, or a stand up comedian, or a movie I’ve seen a million times, as this prevents me actually feeling any need to “watch” it. I do this because I don’t like listening to music while I paint, but I also don’t like silence either.
Turn on the TV, put in a scary DVD, and watch the gross parts while painting in between. 😈 But when my mind is on “creative” mode, it happens anywhere at anytime. 😯

I drink tea. 🙂
Sometimes I have music, but not often (partly because I’m lazy and haven’t charged my iPod in, like, a month); I end up mostly tuning it out anyway.
Tea is pretty much a constant. I don’t know if it’s the warmth, or the something-else-to-do-with-my-hands-while-pondering, or the fun of preparation and selection, but I pretty much always make tea before I get down to serious artsy stuff.
The only downside is that I have been known to mistake the teacup for the water cup when rinsing brushes. ::laughter:: I guess I get pretty caught up in painting, when it’s going well!
Interested in buying or trading for: GB Pebble Sitting Red Fox in dark grey, Lap Dragon Test Paints (Water Sprite, Glacial Pearl, Opulence, Pastel Rainbow, and many others - see my Classifieds ad), Blue Morpho OW, GB Pebble Loaf dragons in blue/aqua/teal, and Griffin Test Paints (Black Rainbow or Frosted Jade).
