Acrylic, full stop. A lot of people are saying oil, which assumes access to good ventilation/studio space. The slow drying time also comes with its own set of difficulties, like constant waiting in-between layers.

Acrylic is more flexible, less toxic and can still mimic oil. https://twitter.com/javi_draws/status/1301409808852160513">https://twitter.com/javi_draw...

In fact, a big reason why acrylic is frowned upon in snooty art circles is because it& #39;s too & #39;easy& #39; compared to oils and watercolor. Same with gouache.

It& #39;s commonly viewed as a working artist& #39;s craft. I adore the shit out of it.

Acrylic can easily mimic other mediums, too. Want a watercolor look? Just add water. Want a mushy, oily result? Get an extender or gel medium.

While oils can have their drying time sped up with additives, it& #39;ll still be more waiting (and toxicity) than any acrylic mix.

Acrylic goes a step further: because it basically turns into flexible plastic once it dries, and can& #39;t get wet again, you can paint on all sorts of surfaces.

I actually want to get a pair of white or beige sneakers and do some original acrylic designs. This stuff& #39;s amazing.

Ha, I& #39;m thinking now about how digital art is ALSO frowned upon by fine art snobs.

It seems like any art medium that doesn& #39;t punch you in the asshole as an entry fee is & #39;lesser& #39;. I& #39;m seeing a pattern here, Scoob!
