That's not a defendable statement at all. Any medium can produce great art, if approached by a great artist.


Good. Produce some great art with it and we'll talk. Past that, you're just another person splitting relativist hairs. Using that "logic" it is possible that thousands of monkies flinging feces at a wall can produce a replica of the Mona Lisa...given enough time and the proper diet.

The reality is that oil paints, the terrifying lead paints, ecology-destroying heavy metal paints and the dreaded turpentine HAVE already produced a body of great art. Thermo-setting plastics have not.

But, please, do as you wish. Follow your theories. It benefits me if you remove yourself from the competition due to wrongheaded ideas. Use those "paints" and use water-soluble paints thinned with water. Use citrus thinners. Please use them! The fewer artists there are turning out credible work, the better my life becomes. Whether you use those only accrues to my benefit as a working pro. Please continue defending those materials...PLEASE!
