    “Can’t never could” we were told as kids.
    Wonder if one red square or two would work in that piece you’re doing. Nice work

    Your work is inspiring. Since my beginning as an artist I worked with graphite and lately I have started branching out with color; pastels, water colors, colored pencils and recently colored pens. But the way you draw, dark to light , helped me see how to use tones and values.Thank you for sharing.

    I'm in tears this is so beautiful. I have loved charcoal for just shy of 40 years. I've stretched my own canvas, had the staple gun, all the tinctures and oil paint, as well as, creating that classic jr college101 color canvas. For me, charcoal is more down to the ground and I love it for that reason alone. Your creations are truly magnificent. ❤❤❤

    Something important that viewers should note is your tempo. Keeping the tempo up is so important to the vitality of a piece. So many starting artists slow down which leads to stiff overworked results. Thanks for the great demo and wise advice.

    I left art long time now, its been months and maybe a year now. As a believer and as im seeing your work now and remembering that it inspired me to move from graphite to charcoal and how it was a great learning experience. I want tk come back to art and this time do it for the LORD❤✝️

    For the past 4 years, all I drew were graphite portraits and I just started colorful fantasy drawings from World of Warcraft. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it and how cool of a challenge it was 😊

    Perfect timing for me to hear this, so encouraging! I’m about to take a giant risk and paint a wall mural, at an invite-only festival with professional muralists 😱 and I’ve never completed one 😂 (except in grade 8 I made one with my sister that I’d like not to count) As a watercolour and charcoal artist I’m absolutely outside of my comfort zone in pretty much every way… but I’m excited for the experience, confident it’s going to stretch and grow me big time. I very much appreciate your transparency and watching your pieces come together. Full of risk and reward ❤

    Thank you for this video. That’s all I can say right now. But as I grow you are definitely one of the modern day artist that is impacting me by your art. Your videos have already made me to think different and have challenged me. I had been messaging you on instagram. Thanks for being interactive man. -Raymond

    I would say drawing what I see instead of always relying on a grid. I would also say speed drawing with charcoal and pan pastel is a new thing that I’m working on. I like you have had drawn in mostly graphite.

    Thanks Josh, you’ve helped me out, taught me to step outside, and grow. I’m still trying graphites at 55 years. You taught an old dog a new trick ! Thanks for sharing.

    🎉🎉 yeah...And Risk More !!! What happens when you have No image as a guide? Or when we use what first appears as real / when we look at eachothr / when we sit in the garden pretending we are drawing" a flower over there" ?!!!
    We begin to experience More connection/ a whole new language opens up / we Feel/ we can hear our guides... we can paint what happens tomorrow !!!!
    Yes Risk
    Yes Risk

      This is really beautiful amazing and inspiring . Apologies I sounded like a narc..
      In shock...but almost relevant.... I just had a tree fall on my car ...funny thing is id done a painting of the garden week before
      Just a quick silly squiffle/ playing
      ..and the garden in the painting
      Looks more like the garden Now
      After the tree fell !!!
      That's why i was going on
      If I'd have been able to translate the signs!!! I'm sure people could do this Yonks ago ...yknow / intuitive radio signals in free play
      Anyhow Magical Merry Wishes one and all ❤🎉🎉🎉
