In your opinion which medium do you consider is the easiest and which is the toughest to work in and why?
(more questions)
I think as long as you know your medium and what it can do then there are no ‘easy’
or ‘difficult’ mediums. I really think it depends on your experience
with the method. As with everything there is a learning curve but once you are
experienced with your tools then certain things become second nature. Particular
methods, such as working digitally offer you a kind of freedom for experimentation
that you wouldn’t necessarily get with traditional media but I don't know
if that makes them ‘easier’. On the surface of things it looks like
taking a photograph is easy because all you have to do is press a button. The
reality of course is that it takes a lot more than that to take a really good
photograph. I think the medium which you chose is just one part of being creative.
What you do with that medium is the really important bit.
