Artist's tip (Right tool, right job): Watercolour = see-through washes; poster colour = bright, opaque, flat colour. Wax crayons = hard and waxy; oil pastels = soft, creamy, blendable. Pencils: H = hard and light, B = soft and dark (black), HB = middle; the bigger the number, the more so (6B darker than 2B).
