Today I wanted to share one of my favorite ways to work with charcoal; we will work through how I use brushes and apply powdered charcoal to the page.
In this video, I am using the following:
Coffee beans from my local roastery
Strathmore 400 Toned Tan paper, 9x12 inches
General’s 4B soft charcoal pencil
Sanding block/paddle/re-tipping tool/lead pointer
Compressed charcoal stick
Flat tip paintbrush
Music from William Agosto’s YouTube channel because it’s awesome
Let’s get started!
Thanks for watching! You can post your questions below or direct message me and I’ll answer them in the next video.
