Take a couple of grams of sauce, turn it into powder. Add some water. As a result you get a kind of dark substance, like liquid watercolor. The sauce is also a very economical material. Just a few grams is enough to make a full picture on A4! In using sauces this way you'll get something in between watercolor and a simple pencil. And yet... another secret is hidden in this unique material! The sauce, after drying, can be washed with an eraser. Yes! As you erase a pencil, you can do the same with the sauce. So do not be afraid if you get clumsy in your work. After the drawing is completely dry, you can fix or lighten it by simply rubbing it with an eraser. For wet painting cellulose paper is preferrable.
