Before starting to paint a logical question arises. What is the best medium you should use? Oil colors are more difficult to use and the necessary solvents also require a certain amount of experience. As a beginner, you should start with colors such as gouache, watercolor, or acrylic colors. Watercolor and gouache require a different technique than acrylic colors because they remain active, that is underlying layers can be blended when we add water or other colors. By comparison, acrylic colors dry hard and new colors can be applied over them and therefore it allows the artist to work on layers. There are special colors used for glass or textiles and they have different characteristics, which have to be taken into consideration when starting to work.

Making a Miniature Bread Using Polymer Clay
Polymer clay is a good medium to be used by beginners because it is very versatile and gives you the possibility of using your imagination to create a great variety of shapes. Learning a few simple techniques will allow you to obtain the best results when working with polymer clay. One characteristic of this type of clay, as compared to other types, such as air-dry clay, is that it does not necessarily require the application of a protective layer of sealer. Baking makes polymer clay water-resistant and it will withstand wear and humidity very well. In fact, some of the varnishes are problematic, and it is always good to test them before use and to only use them if it is really necessary. Some types of varnishes can peel, become cloudy, or sticky and this is one more reason why they should be avoided. Sometimes the use of varnish is necessary, such as in the case of decorating the surface of your items with gold foil, or mica powder to prevent the decorations from rubbing off.
