What painting medium do you use, is it oil color, water colors, etc?

There are many mediums where an artist can create wonders..but i generally prefer Pencil shading(Black and white) since its very challenging that you can do excellent work with only limited shades and make it like a real photograph. I also love to do with oils since they are very flexible to correct and give different textures and effects for your painting..

i just recently started painting a couple of years ago and found that i really enjoy it. i've tried acrylic, water color, oil pastels, chalky pastels. i prefer acrylic painting the best. i find that water color is too runny and doesn't look as nice as acrylics. pastels are pretty messy to work with. you get the pastels all over your hands (whether you use oil or chalky pastel). with oil pastels, you also need turpentine to blend the colors properly and i really hate the smell of turpentine. i find that acrylic is the easiest to work with and looks the nicest too.

I do paint and I use water color only.I haven't done anything with oil .I like to learn oil painting.

I don't paint and I am not knowledgeable about paintings but recently, one of our local television stations featured different painting mediums. Most popular among the unique painters they featured is the man from Baguio City, Philippines. I have heard about this painter before who uses magnifying glass plus sun rays to paint. He allows the sun rays to pass through the magnifying glass and burns the image in the the wood he is using as canvass. Another one is a guy from the countryside who makes use of burned garlic for painting. He can't afford to buy oil, acrylic or other medium so he deep fried until burned cloves of garlic for his painting. Most recently featured is an aspiring artist who uses clay to paint. He allows the clay harden on the canvass he have chosen. The clay marks creates beautiful impressions. Well, their works only has black, gray, brown colors but they made very good pieces of art. Their ingenuity may have caught the people's attention initially but their painting talents made them to shine more.

Though I don't defy myself being a visual artist, whenever I do projects I prefer to wrok with an oil pastel though it's kind of messy. I enjoy smudging colors. Haha!

I started by using water colors, I liked that, but then I discovered acrylics and that has been my favourite ever since. I might use watercolors again in future, because I used to like them. Now I use acrylics all the time, but I like to experiment and to mix the paint with different materials like paper, sand or coffee grounds. Sometimes the mistakes that I make create the best painting and sometimes my mistakes "force" me to find new and creative solutions. I have never tried oil colors, but I am interested in trying them in the future.
