Hi everyone!


One of my favorite hobbies is creating art, and my favorite medium is watercolors. I like how watercolors mix and work together on paper to create a beautiful art piece. I want to know if you all have a favorite art medium too.

Hey @Destiny4157, good to see you again. And that's a great ice breaker, I love water colours too, it's really fascinating to see them mix and create beautiful art. πŸ˜ƒ

I enjoy coloring too, so I like oil pastels haha! And oil paints as well, the finish ooof! Too good.

Hi @Sunisshiningandsoareyou,


It’s good to see you again as well! Also thanks! I enjoy oil pastels as well. They blend so well and have a fantastic finish. I’ve never used oil paints before, but I have become interested in them from watching other people use them. Maybe I should experiment with it. πŸ€”πŸ˜„ Thanks for responding!

@Alaya22,


I think digital is incredible! I tried it a while ago, but I never got into it. Now I’m interested in trying it again. Thanks for commenting! πŸ˜„

@Destiny4157

You should definitely try it out! It takes some time to get used to it but I've found it to be very convenient as in if you make some mistakes you can just go back and change things which isn't possible with traditional art. You can also try out different colour schemes and decide which works the best as most things in digital are not permanent!

I personally love using digital collaborative platforms to draw, and the endless amount of journals I have really speaks to how much I use traditional pencil and paper too πŸ˜‚

I can’t really decide a favorite, but those are my 2 best ones

@mushroomdraws4lif Digital and traditional are both fun. I agree that it can be hard to choose, as I'm having a hard time myself lol. πŸ˜†πŸ˜„ Thanks for commenting!

What is art medium? If that's about the tools used, my favourite one would definitely be the sketching app, digital art seems like the easiest and most relaxing to me

@Destiny4157

I love watercolors too!

I am no artist but I enjoy painting.

Watercolors have a life of their own, you never total control them, particularly over wet paper.

They are transparent so many layers can be seen, to beautiful effects.

They get well with ink, both physically and aesthetically.

This is my last watercolor (with a bit of ink and of gouache), of an old small fishing boat in Uruguay:

Hi - I like your picture. The awesome blue colour of the sea, the red boat. I'm also a Christian so I see the cross of the timber that reminds me of the savior Jesus Christ who hang on the cross for our sins to make a wonderful way for us to God.

I like doing digital art, but I'm horrible at it. I don't draw much, but I like oil pastels, too.
