In this video, I experiment with different types of charcoal—willow sticks, compressed charcoal, pencils, and even chunks of burnt wood straight from the fireplace! 🔥 I playfully combine these materials with torn-up paper landscape sketches, collaging them into my new sketchbook. Watch as I explore textures, marks, and ideas, transforming small experimental works into a foundation for larger paintings. This process is all about freedom, fun, and sparking creativity. If you're looking for inspiration or ways to experiment with charcoal and mixed media, this is the video for you!
