In your opinion which medium do you consider is the easiest and which is the toughest to work in and why?
(more questions)
This is a very good question! All of the different mediums are always fun and
enjoyable. These depend on their art styles, feelings, experiences, methods and
thoughts what mediums they consider.
In my opinion, the toughest medium is oil paint. To be completely honest, I
am a painter who loves doing oil paintings. In my past experiences, sometimes
I felt very dizzy when I cleaned my bristle brushes with turpentine and dirty
cloth. It was totally messy and smelly. But this medium is very good and is
of high quality. The oil painting lasts longer and stronger. However, it's expensive.
The easiest mediums are pencil and acrylics, of course. About the pencil medium,
it's enjoyable to draw sketches, doodles, caricatures, characters, illustrations,
etc. You can bring your pencil (or pens) and sketchpad (or notebook) when you
travel and go anywhere. It's like an art diary. Regarding the acrylics, it's
very versatile. It doesn't smell bad and it dries very fast. Acrylics are easy
to clean up with soap and water. The colors look very bright. It's great to
use acrylics on papers, canvas, boards, woods and other surfaces.
