VERY BEST teacher, instructor, creative artist, and visionary EVER!!! I simply love your work.

This is the best demo I have seen. I realise that I can use charcoal for my watercolour tonal sketches as well as more finished pieces. It "clicked" Thank you ❤

Additional note. I use a workable fixative to protect my charcoal or graphite drawings. Always a wise idea.

You are incredible! Thanks a lot for charcoal videos!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

It is so forgiving to work with- and you can work from darkest darks to lightest lights

Wow ! You make everything look so obvious. Would you concider giving soft pastels a try ? They are my favourite at the moment

Amazing Stroke play… one thing more I love to say…I started watercolours and paused my oil pastels because I got very much inspired from your works…. 🙂 now I think I have to go back to my routine 😅😅

HAHAHA!!! I feel that way about all my "art" supplies.

Gorgeous, and yes it really is expensive. Now I want to get mine out! You always inspire me.

This is so good, I should really give charcoal another try ☺☺

aha! so now we finally see your face! please tell us how to draw the creek, river, path, or road in perspective--easily and naturalyy, like you do!

You can also add water with a brush to charcoal to make beautiful effects. Charcoal is water soluble. Love your art today.

Beautiful as always. I saw some lovely sketchings once with charcoal underdrawing and watercolour. The charcoal moved in the water a little like ink does to make shadows more blended. I keep meaning to try the technique.

Beautiful result mate 👏

That is beautiful

Charcoal is the best, I’d rather use it than a pencil it gives you everything but colour. It is soooo fragile though and once you use fixative it never looks the same. Tape a little sheet of glassine or tissue paper to help protect your drawings. Really like your drawing, glad to see you are using the real stuff, there something about the lightness of the medium in your hand that allows you a kind of freedom….

The charcoal inspires us to reflect about the human need for art and expression, since it appeared together with man (Paleolithic)

I understand you, that no one spoke to you about it. I bought inexpensive coil pens. it was my good luck that i didbought 2 pack of 3 white and 3 black pens, about 30 years ago, they still work great. Very beautiful sea view you have a sketch.. Hugs from Tess Sweden ❤

Good God you do magic🎉

Damn good

I like your watercolor paintings more.. but good work.

Lovely work! I’d recommend the Mad Charcoal channel if you ever desire inspiration for charcoal drawing. Not that you need inspiration. But, I think you’d enjoy observing his process. A lot. 😊

Gosh your rubber eraser looked like the back of a baby elephant at one point. Been playing with cheap charcoal. Now I’m adding to my Amazon cart.

Try liquid charcoal!! It was made for you!!!

Coz we dont know that you does sketches.....we thought you focuses on watercolor painting

Great painting though you used the charcoal stick as a pencil. It is not a pencil and is not meant to be used as a pencil. Try using the sides of the charcoal stick. Not its raw point. There is a reason why the charcoal set that you've bought has some blocks of charcoal and a sandpaper. Cut your stick in smaller pieces and sand it in one of its sides until it becomes pointy ( you can do this with a craft knife as well). Then use that side to draw and the pointy end to define the details and then you'll see how much more expressive lines you are going to get on your paper and how much more cleaner it will be. Check if your are interested this video to see the technique in the way that is taught in Art Academies. (random video I'm not affiliated with the guy who is presenting the technique). kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fp-DdMeSlda1hH0.html Interestingly I had a difficulty to find a video that presents the basic charcoal technique. A lot of videos on YT show artists who use on their charcoal drawings the painting tools and techniques that are more suitable for painting with pastels that is a similar but not the same medium as charcoal, as pastels are applied in layers. Charcoal is monochrome and is a completely different thing.
