I was wondering if anyone knew if he used oil pastels or not? Please tell me what you think.

Answer 1

I think Monet used oil paint . A good artist that used pastels and infact worked in several media was Edgar Degas. He is best know for his artwork of ballet dancers. One of these pictures," Two Dancers Entering the Stage", c., 1877-78, pastel --the picture captures a moment in a ballet, inviting the viewer to experience the elegant performance.

Answer 2

Monet was the first that came to my mind.Carol Hodgson is a more modern artist who has some good stuff. However, pastels are not my favorites, I prefer dark and vivid such as Van Gogh.
