So, how did you arrive at your medium?

[Timothy C. Tyler]

Many of us have tried several mediums.

Dare I say it? Money.

Bronze sculptors get the most, then oil painters. I like all mediums and especially love a good watercolor. The truth is for flat art oils have long been thought of as THE old-fashioned/time-tested way portraits are done. Several of us do work in other mediums, but oils have always fetched the highest prices. Many galleries only hang oils.

I consider oils to be the easiest medium too. Maybe that's from experience but I don't think so. For me, it was a matter of choice. I once sold bronzes and may do those again, but oils dominate shows and galleries.
