Incredible
This has become one of my favorite pieces posted here. I hope it's not my screen playing tricks on me, but I love the very subtle contrast in the eyes, then the strong dark on the hand. Beautiful job.

Lovely work.
The main question I have is where did you get sauce? I've been hearing about it for a year or two and have been wanting to try it but mislaid my notes about where it can be found. Thanks.

Cathy,
I've long admired your online portfolio, and it's great to watch you stretch into new mediums. You've nailed one of the most alluring qualities of sauce: the powdery softness and the deep, but quiet darks.
Gary,
Click on the Dick Blick box at the top of any page on this site. Then, search "sauce" and you'll find it. You won't find it cheaper, and the small rebate Cynthia gets is a great way to say thank you for her great work.
It is no longer available in this country in all-black boxes, but the different values in the box are all beautiful and worth experimenting with.

Catherine,
I don't remember you mentioning the size of this wonderful drawing (painting). Also, is there a "fixing" of the sauce as you might with a pastel or charcoal?

Mike,
The picture is 18" x 14" and I used a fixitif for charcoal and pencil. Some parts of the drawing were not wetted. Thanks for reminding me to post the dimensions of the picture.

Cathy,
This is a wonderful piece of art! I tried once or twice experimenting with sauce, but did not get very far with it. The texture is quite different to that of pastels. After reading the information you give on this thread, I realized that there is a lot that I did know about using sauce!! Gotta go and give it another try!
