I already ran this by Abbie. We all work in different mediums and some of us work in multiple mediums so I thought it would be fun to play a game where we get to share our favorites. It's going to go like this. Post one of your own images done in the medium specified by the previous poster and suggest a different medium for the next poster. When posting an image please say something you like about that particular medium. All mediums welcome including digital and photography. REMEMBER: Only post an image in the medium the previous poster specifies, then you suggest a new medium for the next poster. 1 image per comment.
I will go first:
I am posting an Acrylic painting to get us started. I love acrylics for their vibrancy and immediacy. I also love how versatile they are.
*I want the next person to post an Oil painting*

I do quite a bit with digital images on Adobe Illustrator. Here is a folk art inspired pattern of chrysanthemums that I originally created to print on fabrics. I think it also looks nice on the products here.
For the next post I would like to see a beautiful watercolor. I really admire watercolors but I am no good at the medium myself.

These are created using images of glass... Otherwise, I don't know if there will be many glass art pieces.
When I had an antique store, I bought many stained glass windows from various dealers. Many from Scotland.

I would like to see illustrations.

"Autumn Evening Chatfield" is a pastel painting I did of Chatfield State Park. We have a lot of very beautiful state parks in Colorado.
Pastels have very rich color, and I love how I don't have much clean-up or set-up. It is also possible to use pastel without any solvents. All that makes them very portable.
Next post: Gouache

A graphite study created in a perspective/drafting course I realized was very necessary to my process. Invaluable learning experience -- made for being able to 'project' vanishing points, converging lines, etc. Took forever to stop seeing 'through' things LOL
I enjoy layering graphite -- and the incredible range of results one can achieve, blending, etc.
Let's see some ceramic/clay art...

Drew,
Next??
Dave
Addition: Jessica, I kind of got the feeling that we had covered many mediums and added a bit, but that is not what is wanted. I see that.

I love ball point because of all the detail and range of shading I can get.
Next I would like to see an oil pastel piece.
Note: I love what everyone has posted, it's a great way to see how versatile each medium is! As mentioned, please let's keep it to different mediums. It's okay if we cover a medium more than once because everybody uses each medium differently, and please do not forget to suggest a medium for the next person!

Okay, Drew, show us one of your dry pastel pieces! And let us know what you would like to see next!!

This one is oil pastel -- or, I'm pretty sure it is. I think I painted "Summer Pasture" before I bought the other kind of pastel that I like better. I would post something about the nice qualities of oil pastel... but to be honest I really don't like them. Maybe they're less dusty than the non-oil kind, and of course if you paint in oils (I don't, much), oil paint solvents play well with oil pastels to get some interesting effects.
Shana... Popham Beach! I've been there, beautiful job of capturing it in gouache!
Next posting: Colored pencil. Or (if it's Drew posting) it could be a pastel of any kind.

I will try Serendipitous Art.... "occurring or discovered by chance" with photography. Here goes...
This is an uprooted tree. The roots were so large and had beautiful color to them. I like Photography because I enjoy capturing things that not all people would get to see in the "real", especially the outdoors.
Next medium... I like INK
6 Years Ago
Hans, Sumi ink is a specific kind of ink, but what you posted will do! What kind of medium would you like the next person to post!

Just in case there is no one reading this thread who works in 3D paper art...
I'll post this fine work by Suhas Tavkar who does NakhaChitra drawings on paper.
" 'Nakhachitrakala' (fingernail sculpted drawing technique) is one of the world's rarest, ancient, unique, and unknown art forms. Nakha means fingernail, Chitra means drawing, and Nakhachitrakar means fingernail sculpted artist in the Sanskrit language of the Hindus."
