Charcoal and Acrylic on Canvas Demonstration

- This how I use both charcoal and acrylic paint on the same piece. I'm still occasionally trying new things and that makes the creation process fun and exciting. Also sometimes a little nerve wracking. Check it out and I hope you enjoy watching. Thanks!

So kind of you to share your process
Joel, Thanks for sharing your techniques. You are blessed with multiple talents in your art skills as well as your teaching skills. You definitely were in the Zone !! I'm looking forward to watching more. I'm new to art and looking forward to watching more of your work. Please continue sharing. Thank you !
Again a marvelous creation with an angry bison ready for a fight. My son-in-law and I were able to hunt bison in Alaska and he was lucky enough to fill his tag with a huge bull. You really can not imagine their immense size until you put your hands on them. You have captured every wrinkle and crease in its facial expression especially the wire like hair. Great job!
Magic watching your process. Thank you 🙏
Thanks Joe. Learned a lot just from this one video. Great work!
So cool. Great work!
Awesome! I want to try experimenting with acrylic and charcoal now!
Awesome work!!! I like your style 😎 👌
Wow. Unique and beautifully appropriate to wildlife subject matter.
I've never seen these 2 combined before, so interesting and it looks amazing!
Wow! So much talent!
Well well done. Lovely.
Dope 🙏🏾🙏🏾💙 thanks for this..this is going to really elevate my charcoal art..
And you are nice to look at..thanks for that too 😇
That’s one majestic looking bull there, Joel. I’m really liking your mixed medium look you’ve developed/continue to develop with your work. An artist wants to distinguish their work from others, obviously, and your style is one of the most unique. I’m a huge fan of your color palate with the earth tones, and also with the subjects you choose. Love the wildlife, especially the wolves and bison. To be honest, if I were a wealthy man I’d purchase every one of your original pieces before they were dry! But for now, please continue with these videos. It’s a pleasure to watch you create. You can tell how good someone is at their craft by how easy they make it look. It’s almost hypnotic! Lol. Thanks, Joel. Troy
Thanks Troy! I really appreciate your support and encouragement.

Thanks for posting all these videos and explaining your steps along the way. It has helped me learn processes quicker in making my own pieces. I think I've watched every one of your videos, some several times. Once again thank you.

Absolutely beautiful 😮 watching from Norway
Thank you!
Love watching your unique technique- Thank you for sharing!
Wow...just incredibly powerful and stunning. Thank you for this; amazing artist you are. 🙌🙏🔥😊🇨🇦
Joel, I absolutely love your work! And I so appreciate your sharing exactly how you accomplished this beautiful piece. Years ago I started my art painting in acrylic and then moved to oil. I love how you have used acrylic to pull out the highlights in a way white charcoal would not. Thank you for this! I'm definitely going to try this. You are a gem and your videos are great!
Love your work, well done !
This looks amazing!
Thank Gad i found this vid. i did know one could use charcoal on canvas. Will definitely give it a try!!! 😬😬
That's really impressive. I've been looking for more charcoal tips. Thanks!

Love it. Glad I found your channel
You're so relatable 😊. Amazing 👏
You’re really good😮

Joel - I am a figurative artist. I am very very fortunate to have found my teacher Roberto Altmann in Genova Italy to help me. He was a student of Pietro Annigoni which is the exact artwork and style that resonates with me. I want to say I greatly enjoy watching your work and process and it makes me see other Artists who LOVE what they do! Continued success for many many more years to come! Very inspiring for others. Thanks- Frank P. Fiametta III……I follow you on Instagram…
Thank you, Frank!!
Great stuff! Thanks for taking the time to film and share your knowledge.
Wow, you are an amazing artist! I really enjoy your talent and passionate, kind presence. You are inspiring me to add a new twist to my drawings. Thank you!
Love the dramatic presentation of your work! Not just another bison painting.
I honestly thought you had painted a "one-eyed" bison until you put the cool wash over it😆, then it popped into focus. Came out great!
Y0ur art is beautiful .I really enjoyed .I work with charcoal .I don't think we can use charcoal in canvas. Thanks for sharing your art
good luck
Fantastic job Joel!!
Thanks!
Wow!! Amazing work!!! thanks for sharing, I really enjoyed it
Amazing, as usual!!
Love these videos! Thank you!
Talking and workingto gather helps me.
Inspiring experiment
That was fascinating and absolutely brilliant! I had this question over using charcoal with acrylic (I'd tried once and it just ran - so great to know to use fixative!) I now feel I can have another try and experiment more. Thank you!
bravo man, youre so cool!
Beautiful❤❤
That big fellow just about jumps out of your canvas... great work bro super cool
Absolument Magnifique.👏👏👏💜
Very nice technique....impressive and love the results!
How inspiring! Your work is great.
Your work is amazing. I am just starting to use liquid charcoal. I understand when you say you are at a point in the piece and a little intimidated to try a new step. Thank you for taking the time to share your work!
What an amazing piece of art. Thank you for sharing this. Greetings from Germany!
Thank you very much!
Awesome work! I wonder if you've ever tackled a black animal and how you worked that out witht hr highlights, lightsource and how you'd create depth with that.
I have, and for darker subjects I leave the background lighter for contrast. Thanks!
I love your style and your work!!!
Awesome info sir
Great works sir
Hey Joel, I absolutely love this! Have you considered doing a full length tutorial video with all the steps and selling it? I for one would purchase it.
I might have to try that sometime. Thanks!
Just Wow !!!!!!!!!
Thanks for sharing Joe. Have a good day.
gorgeous work, and so helpful, thank you!
Beautiful work and nice technique
Wow! What a masterpiece! I love it so much! Thank you for sharing your process, the results are so stunning! I am in love with your art. I will certainly give a try at charcoal on a canvas!
Perfect masterclas
Phenomenal. I’ve been following you on Instagram for a while and thought man I’d love to see a breakdown of how you work, so I came here and was not disappointed. Amazing work.
Thank you!!
You ate a really good man for taking your time to make such content for us. May the work of your hands be blessed Sir!
Nice piece of work. I like the subject. Interesting technique.
Great painting and so interesting watching your process!
Awesome work!
I love your work and the subjects you paint.
Thank you!
Hey! I learned a few cool things from your video. Thanks!
Fab technique.
I love watching all these videos. I’ve wanted to experiment on canvas but not sure about the fixative process or varnishing.
Using liquid charcoal do you have to let it dry before eraseing into it. That is really great work.
It's dry vine charcoal and charcoal powder. This one does have a liquid acrylic wash as well. Thanks!
I had a college art teacher tell me to use water with acrylic to make a wash for underpainting 30 years ago. After 30 years the science says to use a medium, I use golden airbrush medium for thinning paints to a watery-wash consistency. The reason water is shunned is that it separates the acrylic polymer and creates an unstable base for the rest of the painting, eventually, your painting may peel from the canvas. On a different note, you made me want to try charcoal on canvas. I especially liked your video on how to affix the charcoal permanently.
Beautiful 🤎🤎🤎🤎
Awesome work Joel. I'm so inspired now. I am experimenting with acrylics just now and stumbled upon your video. I just need to find what I want to paint now, I'm dying to try this technique. Thank you. x
Thank you for sharing, beautiful piece. Can you do the same process, but with oil paint instead of acrylic?
Thank you! I'm learning so much ❤
I love it
THANK YOU !!!!!
Really beautifull!
The best of the best wow wow wow
Fabulous!
