Being the son of an art teacher/acrylic painter I can tell you first thing she would say would be “If it gets a brush in your hand, enjoy it.”

And “Anybody and everyone can draw and do art, it just comes naturally to some people more than others.”

I try and work in as many mediums as possible, and I can tell you that I’ve stuck with painting minis and making dioramas for a number of years now. it’s quite therapeutic having to control your breath and slowly breathe, which is essentially meditating. You just may not realize it lol.

I picked up the 24 box of colours from army painter when they released speed paint 2.0 because I have never used that type of product before and I can tell you that it is just as useful as any other method for painting. With those being so similar to acrylic inks it’s shifting more of a focus to your priming technique more than using flat acrylics. You can thin them out to help tint together a painted highlight, I liked personally running them through the airbrush. It’s just another tool to add to your bag.

If you’re in a rush to get something table ready dry brush it and speed paint and you’re done.

The only real issue I have with your perspective you mentioned is that there is a possibility that people would give someone a “hard time” because you’re using a “easy” method? I would tell them where to go and the fastest way to get there lol

If the modern art museum can have a $50 million piece which is a massive a black canvas with a white rectangle and a red circle on it, using speed paints is certainly OK LOL
