I love looking at the Gallery and others work. I have a question. How do you know what medium they used? I would like to know if what I am looking at has been done in pastels or colored pencils or paint. Is there a place where that is mentioned in the description?

If the artist entered a caption for a work, you'll see it on the individual image pages. It's up to the artist to describe their work however they want. Some people (I'm one of them) like to include a description of the medium, others not. If you see an image that you'd like to learn more about, send a friendly private message to the artist -- most people are very happy to talk to you about their work!

Thanks for the helpful info.
