I like a whole lot of mediums, but my absolute favorite is the humble drawing. If pressed, I’d say pen on paper is my preferred category.

I love how one can take the simplest of materials and create a window into an abstracted reality. It’s a raw medium, where it’s hard to undo what is already there, so one has to either incorporate errors into the final piece or avoid them entirely.

So what is your favorite medium for visual art? Have you attempted it yourself?

    I have a softspot for edo (drawing and woodprint). In some of them you can pretty much see what would have been a fine pencil line…then carved and reproduced. It is skillful and decadent, but basic a the same time.

    I also like the Art Nouveau illustrations, the colour the curves, the earth-fullness. And the fact this was intertwined into architecture made some beautiful sights for our eyes.
