Hello again Denise - I have uploaded my fake charcoal experiment (aka - pastel).  I followed all the suggestions you gave in class - copied the colors, the suggested techniques and marks.  It’s the first time I have used such smudgy materials, and I am quite inspired by the possibilities.  I feel bad that I followed your lessons but used a look alike material instead of the charcoal. You are a fantastic teacher and I very much appreciate you!  I am now going to work on a big taped foursome as you suggested.  As always - a big - THANK YOU!
