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?

Comic book art, which encompasses a huge variety … but the generally string lines and colours are appealing to me :-)
Close runner up would be tattoos … the way some artists Dan overcome the limitations of the medium is fascinating
I like all kinds of art but if I absolutely had to pick one, I think it would be graffiti. I don’t make any myself, but I’ve been obsessed with them since I first played Jet Set Radio in my teens.
Fractals, or any type of recursion.
The results can be beautiful. My favorite part is knowing some type of formula makes up the image.
To do, or to view?
Water colour for the former, for similar reasons to your comments on pen.
To view, maybe some highly technical graffiti?
To do? Charcoal, or pencil drawing. Yes I try not great but it feels good to do. Nudes mostly. Followed by nature photography, if I can catch something cool. Here is one from my work’s office park.
To see? Animated stories and comics are my favorite.
I’ve been getting really into nature photography over the last 9 months. I love being immersed in nature on the hunt for anything cool doing anything cool.
I’m a huge lifelong fan of photography!
If the process counts, stone lithography. Hands down, love the whole process, and its the only art form I’ve seen, while helping someone pull their first print that fills them with such joy they dance lol
Artists that paint light, like Turner and Monet.
Vermeer was a master at that
Tbh, really neat architectural renderings best scratch the itch for me. And I therefore prefer photography and digital drawings more than paintings.
