What’s your LEAST favorite medium?

What medium do you despise with a burning passion?

Personally I hate chalk and oil pastels. They are messy as hell, they get all over your clothes and they smudge super easily. I’ve hated it every time I’ve been forced to use them

acrylic paint... that shit dries too freaking fast for me to keep up
tbh just painting in general lol
charcoal is a no for me. too messy
Watercolor idk how tf people use them like HOW
Definitely, oil. It hates me too, we have a mutual hatred for each other and.
I don’t like paint at all. I’m not that good at painting but at the same time- I probably strongly distaste painting because my art teacher was so harsh on me for no reason (I learned recently that she had bad reviews on rate my professor for this same behavior)
Graphite. Not like, pencil sketching, but doing a full render in graphite. The shine is miserable
Maaaybbbeeee pencil?? And acrylic? Pencil because it will smudge and acrylic because I've had clothes ruined by them ;0;
digital used to be my least favorite. i was like 16 when i started and i just couldnt get used to the tablet and screen being so different. it was also frustrating that my classmates were all digital art gods but now i have an ipad and i absolutely love practicing digital!
Charcoal/charcoal pencils :( I'm already a messy artist with clean supplies, so having to use a dark messy medium is a nightmare lol
Painting,
I did it in school and I HATED IT,
Chalk & pastels were okay at times, but they’re really messy so thats gotta be my second hate.
I hate acrylic paint, idk if more expensive brands are better but it's so irritating to work with compared to oils
Acrylics, I've always hated them for painting. I only conceive of them for modelling 😂
Ohh that's a good one, same with chalk - it just disappears, makes a huge mess
Oil paint &/or oil pastels. We were forced to use them & I hated them. I would’ve been forced into learning oil painting but school closed for “2 weeks...”
Oil pastels are the worst
Any form of painting is not for me at all.
Acrylic paint
But I can work with it after having 7 mental breakdowns
I hate oil and acrylic paint. I get it every where and smudge/smear it around all the time. Plus I loathe cleaning brushes.
I honestly hate watercolors. I just can’t seem to control them how I want 😩
