I had no idea charcoal can be used with water and in this video, I'll show you what discoveries I made about charcoal and how and why you might want to use this in your paintings.

So beautiful! The charcoal really gives the watercolor a special feel. Please swatch the charcoal pencils and paint something with them, they look really interesting.

Looking at early 20th century watercolour sketchbooks by some of my favourite printers, they often have a layer of charcoal under the painting and use charcoals ability to move on the page when wet to their advantage. Beautiful. I wonder why we are scared of combining the two a century later.

I work with charcoal quiet frequently but never thought of combining them in a watercolor paints. Will definitely give this a try.

And you inspire me to try other things. I've been on the fence to try watercolor markers but like WP i bet with practice it can become a cool thing to use.

@@paintingandchocolate oh I will be anxiously waiting for when you do a video on watercolor markers. I have both Winsor & Newton and Faber Castell ones and I struggled so much to make them work that I have abandoned them and they are sitting in my storage cabinet waiting to be used

i've tried painting , using hard pastels , and also some tinted charcoals .. they do have a lovely effect, and i agree , the effect is almost like gouache ( i use nupastels , with this method).. really fun .. 👍👍👍thx for this interesting video .. norakag, here

Before I would have never thought we could use this in watercolors, so interesting!

You're a talented artist and a delight to listen to. Thank you very, I have never seen these particular charcoal blocks. At the moment I'm creating a series of 'Fumage,' paintings and these would be wicked to use with the procedure. Thanks again.

It was my first time with charcoal so maybe it was water-soluble pencil? Either way they feel they could be similar but still I prefer graphite 🙂

What an amazing effect! I had known that charcoal was water soluble, but I really never played with it myself. I think I've seen it used previously in a charcoal sketch (monotone) that was softened/blended with water... Nothing like what you have done. Your have taken this property of charcoal to a whole new level. I'd love to see more! Thanks for sharing and experimenting!

I use the Derwent tinted charcoal with my watercolors all the time, I love them they are so nice. Lifting the charcoal is actually really easy, when the paper is completely dry, you can erase them , not the same for the watercolor but the charcoal on its own can be erased back quite a bit after its been wet at the very least it will be a lot lighter. My Tombow Monos work best but the electric Derwent ones are good too for that. Amazing painting for sure :)

*wow...such a beautiful technique...i'm drawn (no pun intended) to this sort of natural impressionistic look and texture...adding these water soluble charcoals to my artlist wish list...now could you possibly consider the possibility of combining a minimal pouring or background marbling technique as well that would later be incorporated into a painting/drawing later once fully dry?*
