Well said, Peggy. The above artwork is a beautiful painting. And yes, I have seen oil sticks which are used like big crayolas to make "paintings." I use smudging and stumping methods, as well. When it comes to drawing lines with pencil, it is not unfair to encourage students to make the most of their pencil and to try to be artful in the making of lines. In this world of cross over everythings, maybe we should coin the term cross-drawers, and cross-painters. In the end, it is the results that count.
