Noticeable discomfort, prepare for some sensitivity

Topical numbing cream is effective for the first hour.
Vertical landscapes demand elongated canvas areas to preserve perspective. The outer forearm offers high visibility and a flat surface for horizon lines. Calves provide more surface area for intricate background details like trees or clubhouses. Thigh placements allow for larger scale work without distortion during movement.
