I sometimes paint whilst watching baseball… |
GildasFacit  | 08 May 2018 1:27 a.m. PST |
I don't watch sport at all, painting or not. |
| ZULUPAUL | 08 May 2018 2:51 a.m. PST |
No, I don't paint watching anything. I listen to the radio or CDs. |
| Texas Jack | 08 May 2018 3:45 a.m. PST |
Not me, football is too much of an event for me not to give it all of my attention. |

I used to. But as my eyes got older they stopped focusing quickly enough to do both effectively. Now it's podcasts or Pluto TV on my tablet. |
| Timmo uk | 08 May 2018 4:26 a.m. PST |
No but I often listen to documentaries, pod casts or audio books while painting. |
| 95th Division | 08 May 2018 5:17 a.m. PST |
I listen to both football and baseball on the radio while painting. There's no TV in my painting area and it would probably be too distracting anyway. |
| 23rdFusilier | 08 May 2018 5:26 a.m. PST |
No. Would be too busy watching the game and wrapped up in its excitement. |

Yes. All kinds of football, NFL, Premier League, Bundes League |

American Football is perfect for painting. 30 seconds for the huddle and a 4 second play. It lets you focus your eyes across the room for a few seconds to relieve the strain on the eyes. However, I do clean the brush during the 2 minute warning and give full attention to the end of each half. I also watch (listen) to basketball, hockey, ROW Football during my painting sessions. But truthfully, that is more like listening to the radio with glances up when the announcers raise their voice as if something is going to happen. I then get to watch the replays. I cleaned and filed 49 infantry and 18 cavalry during the Cavs game last night. I have to say Cavs game because the Raptors didn't really show up to play. A further 27 horses during the Predators games as well. |

No. Now hockey, on the other hand, is always on at the house, especially when painting or prepping figures. |

I love painting and I love to watch the occasional football game, but would never mix the two. While painting I enjoy listening to music (90% Classical) or silence. |
| PrivateSnafu | 08 May 2018 8:05 a.m. PST |
Football…ahh…Sunday naps. |

| KSmyth | 08 May 2018 10:11 a.m. PST |
Yes, I watch chiefly baseball while painting, but football too. |
| Oberlindes Sol LIC | 08 May 2018 10:31 a.m. PST |
I don't watch football, and I'm not going to bring miniatures and paints to a baseball game. Baseball is are for hanging out with friends, drinking beer, and eating hot dogs. Painting whether alone or with friends, is not for eating or drinking. I don't want paint in my food nor food in my paint. |

| 14Bore | 08 May 2018 11:52 a.m. PST |
No, music ( YouTube mostly) and podcasts |
| BrockLanders | 08 May 2018 12:54 p.m. PST |
Both football and baseball are ideal for painting figs, so much down time/delays/commercials. I get a ton done while watching sports |
 etotheipi | 08 May 2018 2:32 p.m. PST |
Yes. Well, while listening to sports, including gridiron football. |
| 22ndFoot | 08 May 2018 2:35 p.m. PST |
I have a computer on my painting desk which allows me to watch association football, Rugby union football and cricket although "listen to" would be a more accurate description than "watch." |
| wrgmr1 | 08 May 2018 4:35 p.m. PST |
Sometimes, while I watch the Seahawks. |
| huron725 | 08 May 2018 5:15 p.m. PST |
No. Becoming less and less of a sports fan. |
| saltflats1929 | 08 May 2018 5:53 p.m. PST |
No. While painting I listen to my wife yelling "What are you doing upstairs?" and replying with various lies. |
| advocate | 08 May 2018 11:49 p.m. PST |
Why so specific? Ask what people do as they paint.
As it is one friend who painted a large Napoleonic army whilst watching soccer would just have to answer 'No'. Hardly a useful exercise. |
| Old Wolfman | 09 May 2018 7:05 a.m. PST |
I've painted while the missus was watching some other stuff on the TV,as well as other times.. |
| etotheipi | 09 May 2018 1:28 p.m. PST |
Sometimes, while I watch the Seahawks. Doesn't that interfere with your ability to color match? If you don't get the joke, check #5:

I've been watching the new USA Major League Rugby which is greatly eating into my painting time. The more I watch the less I paint… |
| Old Contemptibles | 12 May 2018 12:52 p.m. PST |
Depends on who is playing. If it is a team or game I am interested in, then I am not painting. I am giving my full attention to the game. If it is a game or teams I don't care about, then I leave it on as a background and paint. |
| Joes Shop | 12 May 2018 2:17 p.m. PST |
No. No interest in football. |
| Legion 4 | 12 May 2018 3:47 p.m. PST |
Even though I played sports in High School, including football, was on intramural teams in college as well as on active duty. I don't follow sports much … |
| Howler | 12 May 2018 9:55 p.m. PST |
No. I watch the game and beat my "Damnit Saban" rag doll. |
