Painters Tip
Choosing Mediums For Subjects
If you are a one medium painter, this will not relate to you but if you use multiple mediums as I do, you can sometimes choose your medium relating to the subject you want to paint.
I love to use acrylic for florals. The crisp clean color and edge work makes acrylic ideal for flowers. Of course I have done many florals with oils,,casein, and even watercolors from time to time over the years, but I love them with acrylic the best.
For landscape work you just can't beat oils. Landscape requires soft and hard edge work, a lot of atmospherics and rich and subtle tones. Oils have such diversity and richness that they are ideally suited.
For fine detail and realism, egg tempera and casein are king.
I am not a watercolorist, but I have seen lovely floral work with that medium as well.
My point here is not to single out one medium over another. I am suggesting that some are especially well suited for some subjects. If you are using more than one medium and are having trouble with a particular subject, try changing mediums to see if another is better suited for your subject.
