I think I'd like to do some kind of like crayons or something thicker like chalk, but not quite those things and I don't know what they're called.

Oilpaint is a pain to use because of all the material, cleaning etc (use water miscible oil paints, with them you swap out solvents for water! Easy to clean too, just use soap, and no toxic fumes!), but as it takes ages to dry, it's actually very newbie friendly, move that paint around, add in more paint or even scrape a bad part off! And ofc, paint on top of dry paint.

That said, it's probably the hardest to master.

    I started with watercolors because they survived from my primary school times, later bought a semi-professional watercolor set to finally end up with gouache, and I will probably stay with those. I do have acrylics too (I painted with them literally once, image below), but watercolors and gouache are so much more compact in working with and cleaning up, I love that aspect
