## Usage notes (for our watercolor reference style)

- `watercolor_glazing` — soft, low-opacity glaze. Good for broad area fills
  (water bodies, large landuse) where many overlapping strokes should build up
  color gradually.
- `watercolor_expressive` — wetter, more variation. Good for accent fills.
- `large_watercolor_fringe` — leaves the characteristic darker "wet edge" at
  stroke boundaries. Pairs well with `watercolor_glazing` as an outline pass.
- `only_water_fringe` — water-only variant of the fringe; bleeds existing
  pigment outward without depositing new color. Useful as a finishing pass.
- `2B_pencil` — soft, dark graphite. Used for strong strokes (major roads,
  land boundaries) in the pencil-sketch style.
- `4H_pencil` — hard, light graphite. Used for fainter strokes (minor
  roads) in the pencil-sketch style.
