Well, it's beginning to look like a flower. Finally. We all have preferences as to what we like to paint with (tools, brushes) and on (surfaces) as well as what type of media (acrylic, oils, wc) we prefer. Sometimes it is simply what we learn first that becomes our favorite. Other times we search and search and then fall head long in love with a particular media or tool. Regardless of how it comes about, shaking those preferences can be difficult. It takes challenging ourselves to try a new surface or medium AND giving it a chance to succeed before walking away and saying, "Nope. Doesn't work for me!"
