Hi Peggy,
What a beautiful, soulful portrait. Excellent job! I spent several weeks this summer on the sauce (so to speak) and have a lot of respect for artists who can manage this medium. It has all the disadvantages of charcoal (extremely messy, at least in my hands) and of india ink (once the water is on the paper you're really committed to it). Yet in my view the results surpass charcoal and india ink in terms of expressiveness. I love the intense drama that sauce imparts.
For professional stunt drivers only. I'm sure not there yet, but I've got my helmet on.
