I just had one question: What is the most famous art style??? Is it painting with solid oil, water paints, or sand art or oil pastel?

@TheSvartdemon

I have no idea what the most famous art style is. An argument could be made that it's carving stone or drawing on rocks since that's been done throughout the history of humanity. That's a question like popularity contests. You'll get different answers from different experts all with good reasons for it.

Oil pastels were invented in 1925 by Sakura with Cray-Pas. So the possibilities are being explored. Picasso used them a lot, so there's one of the most famous artists using OP.

One thing that oil pastels are great for though is being able to make videos and post online. They're bold. The lines are heavy, colors blend easily, colors are strong and clear. So you can do better online with oil pastels than some of the more delicate mediums like pencil drawing ,where sometimes it's hard to see what's going on in the video.

I finally understand! I took art appreciation in college and got an A, but didn't get the concept of color/hue/tone. You are awesome! Thanks so much. I'm picking up my supplies tomorrow.
