Just like different types of paint, paintbrushes, and artistic tools, there are literally hundreds of literary devices, but some of the most common are metaphor, simile, personification, and imagery.
I think that the comparison to artists was really useful. It helped to compare it to something everyone knows, as it allows for easier understanding. Also, I think it helps as I feel like the two are pretty similar to one another. Artists use paint, and writers use ink. Both create visuals with their hands, etc.
