A very good question, one I do not recall Ra, or Q'uo, answering specifically.
Eastern philosophies point to the orange ray for creativity, as it is an expression of your true self (as the orange ray is linked to acceptance of self).
I do not know the exact answer, so will offer you my own take on it.
From reading Ra's descriptions of the rays, I would think it's a combination, depending on the personality, the intent, and the form of expression of the artist. The balance will be unique to the person.
For example, take an artist who loves, and hence is entirely passionate about, a subject, or mode of art. The green ray, in this case, may be the 'brightest', and greatest source of energy.
Have you ever being doing something you love to do, and have been 'in the zone'? There is a drive that seems to energise you and fill you with ideas and concepts. This state of consciousness is effortless when one truly loves to do something. Everything just works. It's a wonderful feeling.
On the other hand, some artists creativity is highest when in states of hate, depression, or rage. This indicates that the blockages themselves are acting as the energy source, expressed through negative emotions.
It may also depend on the type of expression. For example, a poet, or singer, may be acting predominantly from the blue ray as forms of communicating their truths, 'supported' by other rays (love, self acceptance etc.). A singer performing about love would be flowing through green ray, while a singer performing about a hateful government would be drawing from yellow ray.
The types of expression you have listed; sculpting, painting, drawing etc., are expressions of your true self, and very hands-on. From this, I would guess it's focused around orange and green. Especially green, if you're passionate about doing so.
Good luck with them :¬)
