Red-green color blindness can be broken down into two main types: Protan-type (“pro-tan”), which is a disorder of the first “prot-” type of retinal cones also called the L-cones, and Deutan-type (“do-tan”) which is a disorder of the second type of retinal cone also called the M-cones.
As an Artist I think it depends on which piece of art it is and how you feel. Personally I like charcoal. On art medium they don't really talk about is oil paintings. They don't like teaching it because it a more complex medium.They mainly focus on acrylic paintings.
