If I'm painting in the morning or at night, I drink tea. If I am painting in the afternoon it's usually a Pepsi.

I never drink while painting. If I get thirsty, I stop painting and go get a drink.

It's true – I do. Coffee or tea. Don't think I've cleaned my brushes in the coffee cup more than twice in….a lot of years

I usually do, too. Always coffee, around mid painting season. As here in the Spanish Peninsula expresso coffee is customary, my cup has never time to cool down before I've emptied it. Lluís

I always have a bottle of water next to me. I only paint in the evening, after dinner. Too late for coffee.

Does decal water count?

It does if you drink it, Inch High Guy.

I don't drink but if you look at my painting you would never believe it.

Stopped having a cup of coffee on the painting table after accidentally cleaning a brush in it :-).
