I have some thin newsprint paper for paste-ups and want to draw/paint the design onto it myself instead of getting it printed.

What would the best medium?

I need to be able to use a full range of colours and it should be easy to do large areas of uniform colour (vector image). Ideally this medium won't fade easily in the elements and won't interfere with the wheatpaste.

Go down to WallyWorld and grab some cheap ass watercolour tubes. Then grab a few more. Pick up a big bottle of india ink while you're at it.

Using a big easel of sorts (8x4ft plywood works well) pin up sheets of newsprint and quickly sketch your design. Now just block fill with a large oil brush (I use a size 12, I'd say up that shit to a 16 or 18) with those watercolour pigments. Give it a bit to dry, India Ink with a trusty round on your linework, let it dry. Pull the monstrosity apart and paste.

Yeah it works!
