Low down on SAUCE

[djstar]

Help.
I have heard of it, seen examples but just got some and have no idea what the deal is.
I tried searching the forum and only find recipes for spaghetti.
All I know is that the stuff is from Russia.
It is in sticks made from clay not charcoal and you seem to be able to wet it and use it like india ink.
Is this ringing a bell for anyone?
If so, more details please.
I am in the mood for some black and white new stuff!

Hi DJ,

I did a mega quick search on Google for "art supply sauce" and discovered the company that makes it is called Yarka... so I did another search for "yarka sauce" and I got these results...
I hope it helps...

I think this is the start (http://forum.portraitartist.com/showthread.php?threadid=1613,) of the whole mess.
I bought some at Arizona Art Supply for a whopping 89c each and am just dying to know what to do with them like ink.
Peggy apparently has a video I have to buy... but the forum is acting odd... keep checking and if it is wrong, I will try to post the right link.
