Start with light layering, blend edges with a finger or blending stump, and experiment with scumbling for texture; you can also combine with graphite or ink for mixed-media effects.

Keep the set in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; store sticks upright or flat in the box to prevent color transfer.
