I have painted with watercolor, acrylic and oil. I like watercolor because of the light quality of it. It takes layers to dark (working light to dark). I can also do quicker paintings with it. But I enjoy painting in oils (dark layers to lighter colors). I find it more forgiving and you can layer and wipe for interesting effects. I like the smell too. ;)

I like watercolor. Its tricky not to get blotches, but watercolor is pretty cool nonetheless. There is also oil and acrylic painting and I like those as well.

Watercolor is very good because it reflects light beautifully. It should have that accidental, messy look, not a very detailed picture like that in oil paintings.

I love working with watercolors, even though I'm not very good with them yet! XD I usually make illustrations in black waterproof ink first, and then add colors with watercolor pencils.
Apart from that I've only really tried to paint with acrylics, but I'd really like to get better at most mediums when it comes to art.
