Enzie: I have not tried Sauce, but I am interested. I will get round to it eventually.

Beth: He is a very well behaved dog! His whole body wags when he sees you.

Jean: I have heard that charcoal has a limited value range - something like six values. I have always been able to coax more value distinction out of my charcoal than that, so I am not sure how accurate it is. This is just straight charcoal, no pastel white added. The brushes certainly do help to express the values as you lay in the charcoal and then brush it/scrub it to blend and establish the value - too light and I add more charcoal, too dark and I hit the area with my kneeded eraser and brush/scrub again.
