Artists in Pern

[Amanda N]

Now I know that paints and dyes exist, but what other mediums for creating art exist?  I'm particularly interested in drawing.  Charcoal?  Chalk?  What about pencils? What about coloured pencils?

There would be charcoal.  There would be white chalk for sure, but I doubt it would be like our current compressed-gypsum based variety.  It would be the kind found in nature, therefore I don't think there'd be many colors.  There could be pencils if they found a source of graphite, or if they used a wax base.  As for colored pencils, they could have a wax-based color pencil, but the color variety would be very limited to what they can produce naurally, like their paints.
