What is your favorite medium for art projects?
I love working with all types of paper.
So hard to choose! I love fine-tip and medium-tip markers, but I also love colored pencils. And fabric scraps and all kinds of ribbons and string!
Paint, paint, and more paint - acrylics, oil, latex, metallic, spray paint, finger paint, poster paint. It is inexpensive and goes on everything!
After some consideration, I realized it must be the humble graphite pencil, sitting at the top of my list. I must also confess to being up for trying anything and everything, given the chance.
I used a lot of coloring materials such as colored pens and pencils, pastels, acrylic and oil paints, different types of special colored papers and canvas.
I love working with Crayola crayons and manila drawing paper. I take photos of the art with my webcam, then go crazy in digital editing software, and also use a pen tablet. I'm experimenting with watercolors and pastels but am still learning the ropes.
I like using different types of paper, be it typical paper, cardboard paper, transparent paper sheet, etc. I like using glitter pens, paint-colors (acrylic and poster), sketchpens, coloring pencils, crayons, decorative beads and other embellishments for decorating my paintings and pictures. Recently, I have done glass painting on glass items and found the paint-colors concerned with glass painting uniquely interesting.
Tough question because Art is so diverse. I have categorised the activities for ease of answering:
Sketchig: HB pencil
Line drawings: Rotring disposable pens - 0.3 and 0.4 mm
Painting: Acriylic paints on canvas or paper
Sculpture: Plasticine models followed by fibre glass moulds and casts.
I don't like oil paints because they take too long to dry and give an odour for months on end. But when restoring a damaged oil painting, one has no choice.

I, myself, love to mix mediums. My paintings seem to always have a better flow if I use more than one. My favorite so far is watercolor and acrylic, not mixed but used in the same piece of work. They seem to flow together really well, and the acrylic gives the watercolor an extra...
