What is the best medium to paint fast with and get the best results?

Answer 1

As this question is in the Visual arts/Painting section I shall assume we are talking art here and not D.I.Y.

To answer simply water bases media are faster than solvent or oil bases paints.Water colours which tend to use overlays of colour washes are very fast however there is a definate technique required to get good results.If you wish to produce something a bit stronger and vivid that is water based I would suggest Designers Gouache.You can get a good set from your local art shop for about £20.
I tried these when I did some art classes and found the results very pleasing.

Answer 2

if you mean paintings on canvas or panel, then acrylic is the best medium. If you are looking at paper, then watercolour or gouache are pretty good. Acrylic also works on paper. Acrylic is my preferred medium, as it dries fast and you can paint over it many times. There are also products on the market called "retarder" that can slow down the drying process for you, making the paints more workable, especially if you choose to work outdoors.

Answer 3

Watercolor is pretty fast. But you can't build up the paint. So the next best thing may be acrylic, having the qualities of both watercolor and oil paint.

Answer 4

oils take a looooong time to dry regrettably, and certain you're actual in declaring that blending the paint with thinner WILL make it dry swifter, the paint you've already utilized continues to be going to wish days to dry on the floor (in accordance to how thick you utilized the paint) and weeks to months, (once more beneficial in accordance to thickness) to dry from under, you are able to attempt to placed it lower than the solar throughout the time of sunlight hours or as some different person reported to apply a hair dryer on it, this kind u can % up the drying attitude of the floor and also you'll be in a position to the contact it with no need messy and be in a position to furnish it to him in time. sorry for no longer being waiting to help more beneficial =[

Answer 5

In arts, putting the words "fast" and "best" together is an oxymoron. Art takes time, needs studying etc. but there is no "quick and good" and there is no miraculous media or I should know.
If you mean a fast drying media acrylics can be it, but it means you pay cash for your mistakes !

Answer 6

The computer.

I have a website related to digital art, photography and a little conventional art. Most of what I do uses Photoshop elements, even for the photography. It yields a great quality, large print in hours of effort rather than months. Additionally, it provides a means for helping children in need. See the link at the bottom.

The next time you need art for your walls, please consider my website. My personal favorite of my own work is Stir the Groove. Recently other artists and photographers have donated some of their work for this charitable cause, as well. If you know of artists who might wish to join this charity model, please send them my way.
