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!
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.
Beautiful and interesting video as always. I had just seen this product time ago but not at work like you have been doing. Yeah, it should be nice to see the pencils too. Thanks!🥰 👏👏👏
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.
@@paintingandchocolate you inspired me to use watercolor pencils more, now charcoal with watercolors. Super excited for what you inspire me to try next 😊
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
*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?*
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 :)

Delightful! I'm looking forward to more of your explorations.
Thank you Steven!

You're welcome, I'm excited to try the pencils next!

I imagine they might, I'm glad this was useful!
Absolutely beautiful! You make painting look effortless. In every medium. Id love to see what you can come up with next!
Thank you! I've just tried something new and it will be in the next video 🙂
@@paintingandchocolate very excited to watch! I truly appreciate your response ❤️
You're welcome !

My next project 🙂
So beautiful! I think even out of plain mud you would make a beautiful painting! Your talent is ammmaazzing!!
Thank you 🙂

I itch to try them, I hope they turn out to look really nice!

Yes it's true!
Very cool and beautiful result!
Thank you Monique 🙂
I love your channel so much! Everytime I learn something new ❤
Thank you, I love to try new things!
Yes, please. I would love to see the Derwent charcoal pencils in action.
I'm working on it and so far it's great 🙂
I work with charcoal quiet frequently but never thought of combining them in a watercolor paints. Will definitely give this a try.
Glad this sparked an idea 👍🙂

👍👍👍thx for this
interesting video .. norakag, here
Before I would have never thought we could use this in watercolors, so interesting!
Both the bird and the backround came out so beatiful! Stunning results!!
Glad you enjoyed both, my personal favorite still is the branch from the previous exercise 🙂

I've never looked into pouring, maybe some time 🙂
@@paintingandchocolate *YAY!!!!*
have you tryed a jappanese ink grinding stone with these Because i see this is kind of like far eastern paint
No never, thank you for the tip 🙂
All charcoal and soft pastels are water soluble
Yes, now I know 🙂

Thank you for sharing, much more to be done then 🙂
You’re such a rebel!
I think I love it 😁
Oooh I love doing this technique. I learned it from another video of yours and gave it a try. Magic I tell you. :)
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 🙂
Yes, I would love to see a review of the tinted charcoal watercolor pencils vs tinted charcoal blocks.
I can't wait to try them!🙂
