I like to paint in my spare time.
ME too, I use it as a mode of creative expression, and I also use many forms of art like acrylic as well as watercolor. 
My paintings are mostly political. I like to make funny paintings of Donald Trump.
Lol thats funny, Yesterday I was  practice of applying paint and pigment to my new piece and spilled paint on it, I laughed for a solid 10 minutes because it gave my character blue hair.
lol well that's what art is about, sometimes mistakes make the painting more fun. What is your preferred canvas for painting?
I perfer a wood canvas because I always hang my paintings on the walls as decoration.
I've been practicing on paper, but i'm hoping to paint a giant mural on my bedroom walls soon.
Ive painted many pieces of artwork like that before,  I hang them directly on a wall to dry and just leave them there. 
Who are some of your favorite painters? Who inspires you the most?
My favorite is Rosa Bonheur, shes considered to be the most famous female painters of the 10th  century. And I couldnt agree more.
