What's going on while you paint?
1. Absolutely nothing. You, your paints/brush and figures.
2. Inspirational music.
3. Inspirational movie.
4. Family background noise.
5. Any of the above with favorite beverage.
6. Any of the above with your pet(s) at your feet.
7. Something completely different. (Please share)

If I paint in the kitchen, the TV is on.
If I'm painting down cellar, I'm listening to music on YouTube.

Memento Mori02 May 2019 10:10 p.m. PST

watching TV -usually sports

wrgmr102 May 2019 11:08 p.m. PST

My wife does puzzles and I paint.

Martin Rapier02 May 2019 11:19 p.m. PST

I paint in the dining room, so just the usual household background noise.

Why must either the movie or music be inspirational?

ZULUPAUL Supporting Member of TMP03 May 2019 3:01 a.m. PST

Radio (talk radio or sports) or CDs varying music types.

FusilierDan Supporting Member of TMP03 May 2019 3:47 a.m. PST

Absolutely nothing. Me, my paints/brush and figures.

Frederick Supporting Member of TMP03 May 2019 4:50 a.m. PST

As with Fusilier Dan, option 1

Vigilant03 May 2019 5:08 a.m. PST

TV, pretty much anything can be on, motor sport, movie comedy, action adventure, crime, documentary.

22ndFoot03 May 2019 6:07 a.m. PST

Me, the BBC World Service or TalkSport, a cup of coffee and perhaps a biscuit. Priceless.

PzGeneral03 May 2019 6:13 a.m. PST

Podcasts or lately, MST3K or Rifftrax on Pluto TV on my tablet.

Tom Reed03 May 2019 6:24 a.m. PST

I paint in my living room. I have a table set up at one end of my couch with other supplies in/on a couple of storage units next to me. The TV is always on while I paint so I have something to listen to (and glance at on occasion).

Thomas O03 May 2019 7:17 a.m. PST

Mostly listen to music, once in a while put a DVD in my small portable DVD player, but find I get distracted when I am painting, but it is fine if I am cleaning and prepping figures.

The News or a TV show …

Personal logo etotheipi Sponsoring Member of TMP03 May 2019 8:57 a.m. PST

Music – 25% of the time
Sports on TV/radio/stream – 25% of the time
Taking with SWMBO (not background noise) – 50%
Booze – 50% of the time
Nothing – 10% of the time

#1 and #2 are mutually exclusive, but will overlap with 3 and 4.

Podcasts
Audio books
Old time radio

Corporal Fagen03 May 2019 9:37 a.m. PST

Once in a while groovy music, usually nothing

Or Netflix or other streaming channels.

Gear Pilot03 May 2019 3:42 p.m. PST

Normally nothing. Its my time to unwind. Sometimes I put in a CD of '80s music.

Oberlindes Sol LIC Supporting Member of TMP03 May 2019 5:47 p.m. PST

Sometimes music that I like, but more often nothing. I'm really focused on the work when I get to do it.

Personal logo x42brown Supporting Member of TMP03 May 2019 9:42 p.m. PST

Music, a play list chosen o match what I'm painting.

mghFond04 May 2019 9:39 p.m. PST

TV on, almost always sports. Or I listen to podcasts or history lectures on youtube.

JAFD2605 May 2019 3:14 a.m. PST

Music about half the time, either WQXR or WBGO. Rest of time, either 'background noise' or my air filter humming (polln allergy)
