Smudging and softening charcoal drawings. I've never used russian guache(what brand is it?) and only ever used it a few times. I love it on design work, my partner works in theatre so i get to see a lot of exhibits of set design when i visit him at work.
oil isn't only where the money is though, there are lots of artists making plenty of money without breaking out the oils. Plus, its hard to make money without spending money using oils. I dream for the day when i can afford the 500 dollar tube of purple paint. Ha!
I've started playing around with encaustic lately, but wish i knew someone who has used it a fair bit to teach me more..
