Was this done with nitram cold press charcoal or vine charcoal which I think is softer and also not sure if that's how it's called. I'm only familiar with the first one nitram charcoal. Interesting story and good objects to practice and excellent work! Ah, I was also that year doing my second...

WOW 👏👏👏

Ai, we had the same yr our adventures in US! Amazing 🤩. What a coincidence. I liked everything what I saw, learned and experienced that year! Joan, in Sanford, ME. 👍 Everyone else "hi" and I enjoy seeing all your work done and posted in this thread.

Jo, "hello" Ai ... omg, you don't believe me when I tell you I was the same yr. 😲😊
