I so thoroughly enjoyed this series! In retrospect, would you have chosen a different type of journal?
Thanks..!. No I liked the journal I just would have broken the spine sooner. The size, the thickness of the paper was perfect. Strathmore 500 series.
This is beautiful! I am in awe of your work and love it. Plus, the background music you choose is always so soothing, every time I watch your videos it’s like a mini meditation. I have trouble getting my charcoal pencil to work on my dried medium. It just seems like it doesn’t want to work, almost like the pencil is too hard or something. Are there any tricks to this? I love your shadowing – I strive to someday be that good at shadowing. Thanks!
Hilary, Thank you…! I use and extra soft charcoal pencil and It works best on a grounded surface, like matte medium or gesso
I will try a softer pencil, thank you.
