1. Blending
When painting in wet media, artists mix two or more colours together to form a new color.
Colour pencils are a dry medium, so colours have to be created by layering.

2. Burnishing

This is another form of dry blending in which you use heavy pressure to “grind” layers of colour together, either with a colour pencil or a colourless blender.
