Edgar Degas primarily used oil paints to create "The Dance Class," but he also employed pastels and charcoal in his artistic practice. Degas was known for his innovative use of composition and perspective, often incorporating unusual viewpoints and cropped figures. His technique involved layering colors and using a variety of brushstrokes to capture the movement and energy of dance. Additionally, he sometimes used monotype printing to explore different effects in his work.
