This was a wonderful Monday morning surprise, and while I missed the dog (until the end) and the shifts in climate and difficult terrains, the video was extremely informative for me. Starting with working on a gessoed panel. I have a bunch of them. I'm going to try it out today. Thanks for the inspiration.

My pleasure Andrea. I am pleased you saw Basil at the end - I wonder how many people missed him?

How do you fix your pieces when complete? Beautiful work!
@AndrewBarrowmanArt6 ай бұрын
I don't often fix them - it changes the charcoal too much for me. I prefer to frame under glass asap (although this is expensive)

Didn’t think of doing a charcoal on gessoed board. Gives a nice texture. I guess the charcoal adheres to it ok. I would have thought would be too smooth? Do you spray over it to make it permanent? I love how the charcoal marks just suggest landscape features.

Thank you for your comments. I usually add a little texture (maybe marble dust) for the charcoal to grip onto. I don't spray these with fixative anymore as I find it changes the subtle charcoal marks

Your working upright, I lay my work flatter when working with messy (chalk, pastels and charcol). Which do you recommend as both have their own advantage/disadvantages.
@AndrewBarrowmanArt6 ай бұрын
I like to work upright because the charcoal / pastel dust drops away from the drawing. Although I prefer working flat with pencil

Do you put a preserver on the finished job
