An artist loved to work with smooth, flowing paint that had vibrant color. Knowing that she had many months to finish a commission , her best choice for a material would be:

Tempera paint
Oil paint
Acrylic paint
Watercolor

The best choice for the artist would be oil paint. Oil paint allows for smooth, flowing brushstrokes and has the ability to create vibrant and rich colors. Additionally, oil paint has a longer drying time, allowing the artist more flexibility and the ability to make changes over an extended period of time.
