  • Question
    What's the best medium to use in cubism art?
    Community Answer
    Any medium is okay to use/ Imagination is key to what medium you use. These are just some of the mediums you can use: Paints can be difficult with staying in the lines but can be great for any type of cubism. With paints, you can mix colors and make any color that you can imagine! Markers are more for beginners. It is easy to stay in the lines, and very simple. With markers, you do not have as many colors because you cannot mix colors. Colored pencils are good because you can shade making many more choices of color. They are also really good for staying in the lines. Just remember, if you are using colored pencil, it may take a while to color in because the tip is so small.
