So,
what gets us in a perfect frame of mind, to produce a finished painting.
Is it the purpose built Studio, as an extention to the house, or a summer house hidden in the garden, converted with sky lights for that all important light that we all need, even to the kitchen table stuck in the dark corner of the house, with a botch job light source hanging overhead, or a small comunial area in a shared room which has to be folded away each evening before daylight returns.
is it the peace and quiet enjoyed early morning before the family wake, and get underfoot, the stillness of late night painting when the household have retired for the evening.
Maybe a little background music to help you achieve that mindset for a few hours stroking of the canvas, maybe just the warmth of the sunlight through a window, or the scene down the garden overlooking the stream (I wish).
Maybe a little alcofrolic beverage to help the arm determine the first brushstroke - some here have quoted various preferences of juice to aid their thought process and give strength to their convictions.
