To all artists out there...?

Question

What mediums/forms do you like to use the most? Whether it be painting with oils to writing poetry to breakdancing. What is your favourite way to express yourself?

For me, I like to paint with oils. Nothing better than the feeling of applying oil paint onto a surface to create what you're interpreting.

Oh and to let people know, I don't only paint with oils. I use other mediums as well, obviously. It's just oils are my fav and I'm just asking what your favourite is. Tis all :)

Sorry for the crappy photos. I can't seem to take good photos of my paintings.

Answer 1

I prefer plain old graphite pencils. Lately though I've been working on getting up to speed with digital media. I like things that aren't permanent unless I'm completely satisfied with it which is why I like both pencils and digital art; they're both easily correctable right up to the end.

Answer 2

I'm artistic too, and oils are an amazing medium! Of all the types of paint to use, oils are the most malleable and the richest of all of them. The depth you can achieve is unmatched! Right now, I'm into making jewellery. So I guess I'm veering off the paint oriented into a more sculptural medium. I'm using high quality copper and brass wires and bending them to create unique, original shapes, together with beautiful beads, attempting to create artistic, original jewellery pieces to enhance the wearer. Maybe I'll sell one day. I'm getting the goods together as best I can as I'm teaching myself to work with these new materials. Actually, if you're truly artistic, I think anything you touch, in any medium, will express your ability! Happy painting!

Answer 3

I like to write. Mostly poetry, prose, essays, that sort of thing. I also do needle work like embroidery and cross stitch. I love to paint. I paint pottery, ceramics, porcelain, things like that. Those white garden statues and lawn ornaments? They don't stay white long! I've done some tile work and mosaics. That was fun but I'm still learning. I am a hairdresser and I approach my work from an artistic point of view as well. I like candle making too but I haven't had much time to do that lately. My favorite, aside from work though would have to be the painting.

Answer 4

i write fiction and poetry all the time. i feel like i can really express myself by writing incoherent sentences without punctuation or caps and calling it 'poetry'. :-) i have also done things with watercolors, but my favorite painting medium is canvas on an easel and oils.

Answer 5

I can control methane output. If I need to raise or lower the pitich of any measure of methane output, I can produce different notes of a musical scale, and even imitate some rap tunes.

Answer 6

Sorry, I just love watercolor. They are less toxic to work with and I love the way the finished product turns out.

Answer 7

I like to create in many different forms, but for me, it's mainly in the music/poetry area. Check out http://myspace.com/officialdjbig or http://myspace.com/officialzerg or even http://myspace.com/2012rebirth to check out some of the stuff I make.

Do you have any scans of what you paint? That would be awesome to see :)

Answer 8

i love drawing i love painting i love poetry and i love music it just seems im not very good at making any of them.

Answer 9

all medias. they match your moods and your expressions, which are as variable as the material around you. variety is the spice of life, to use an old cliche - don't limit yourself, indulge yourself.

Answer 10
