She said if the majority of the canvas is not covered, it is a drawing or sketch. Like if 50% of the canvas is showing and there is only like an outline or doodle in the middle, then it is a drawing or sketch. In case of "The Scream", it is a Pastel Painting. She said 99% of the Pastel Societies in America, which she is in charge of, will all agree that is true.

On the famous ones, it's hard to argue against Monet. His works are far more impressive in person than on a computer. Van Gogh has a great style, but I can't even figure out how Monet makes his stuff.

On a more affordable level, I have one of this guy's paintings and really like his style: https://artonawhim.com/artistcategor...D=TFX&selCat=0

Ours looks a lot like this, but it's a different mountain range. I would classify it as a painting.

Yeah now that I've conclusively won this debate, he's attacking my intellect. ROFL

I agree-If you get a chance-see the Water Lillies set. It is amazing!!! They also had stuff on the computer that showed the different stages of it-very cool!! When you step back and let your mind drift-it really blends and tricks your mind that you are looking at Real water.

Winslow Homer. Did amazing work. He is very under rated.

Starry Starry night
Pastel your palette blue and grey
Look out on a Summers day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul

Doesn't seem to work

George Catlin

Painted Native Americans in the early 1800's . I saw his collection at the Nelson and it is breath taking!! If you have Any interest in Indians and the Old West-this is a Must see. His collection is second to none-he was able to gain their trust and paint their Chiefs and daily lives like no other artist. Sadly Most of his subjects would be dead from Small pocks, starved or shot within a decade of painting their cultures.

This same tool at work made another reeruned argument today. Now bear with me here..somehow all of us there were talking about how some porn stars bleach their assholes. (Don't know how it got there...).

So the "painting guy" says "They're crazy if they're putting Clorox bleach on their assholes!". At which point I said "You realize bleaching something doesn't mean you have to use Clorox? There are other ways to bleach something.". He said "How can you bleach something without using bleach you idiot!! You're the same idiot that said its ok to call a pastel a painting!".

At which point I just facepalmed and walked away. No point in arguing. The dude is in his 50s and thinks he's smarter solely because he is older. Yet I know for a fact he fails at 3rd grade level math...

Dane - now that you're here, help me clear up the painting or pastels argument. I say they're paintings. I had evidence to back me up. Yet this guy at work called me a moron because he went to fancy "art school".

The fact is that the International Association of Pastel Societies and The Pastel Journal define pastel artwork as paintings. Case closed.

From one of their sites... http://www.pastelinternational.com/


A pastel is a pastel and it is also a painting... just like a watercolor is more specifically a watercolor but also a painting.
