Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Edgar Degas was known for his extensive use of pastels in his artwork, including The Tub. While he also used other dry drawing media such as charcoal and Conté crayon, pastels are the most commonly associated medium with his Impressionist style. Sanguine is a reddish-brown chalk that Degas did use in some of his drawings, but it is not specifically associated with The Tub. Silverpoint, a medium where a silver wire or stylus is used to make marks on a specially prepared surface, was not commonly used in Degas's time.
