Working on textured paper allows for the conté crayon to pick up and release more pigment, creating a range of values. Bearing down too hard can be ineffective and may damage the paper or crayon, smudging can create a range of values but not as effectively as working on textured paper, and mixing with water would create a different medium altogether.
