I work from life a lot, and then I want to be at the same hight as my model. So if my model sits, so do I.

When working from photos, my position varies depending on which easel I am using. I have a small easel that keeps wanting to fall over if I adjust it to a standing hight, and another easel that is big and heavy and very suitable for working standing.

When I work in watercolors (not for the portraits, generally) I have my paper laying on a table and I lean over it. That is truly gruesome; after a couple of hours my back hurts. I really ought to think of something better.
