Super, just lovely and very inspiring Fiona✨🌞

Superb - will make a great future painting!

How do you enjoy using liquid charcoal Fiona? Looks like fun. I look forward to the painting.

Great use of this difficult medium, well done.

A good idea will look forward to it Fiona. Like that S bend there.

Lovely, lots of movement - look forward to seeing the painting!

Lovely to look at in the sketch Fiona. Will make a stunning painting.

This has a nice flowing feel to it Fiona

We all want to see the painting now. Should be good (no pressure, then..): this is a lively sketch; like George Cutter, you use liquid charcoal to great effect.

Beautiful, lively sketch - it will make a great painting Fiona.

Very nice liquid charcoal piece of art

I like the stuff and have some, but haven’t used it for ages… You’re working well with it Fiona…

Thanks everyone for taking a look and commenting. Hope to turn it in to an oil at some point in the future, I would like to keep the ‘scruffy’ appearance. Tessa, I used it quite a lot a while ago but this is the first for a while.

Thanks Fiona. Now you say I think I remember!

Lovely, charcoal can be so expressive.

You should try it Tessa. It can Andrew. I’ve been dabbling with powdered charcoal, it’s lovely but messy. Thank you for commenting.

Lovely, you have made this look effortless.

Lovely, will look forward to the painting.

Jacqueline, Sandra…..thank you very much for commenting on my sketch.

Lovely and loose.

Thanks again Diane. X

Beautifully done Fiona, I like this very much.

Many thanks George, a compliment from an expert in this medium x

I've found someone else using liquid charcoal! I think I might use it in my sketchbooks too, especially if they come out like this!

Yes, give it a go Trevor. I don’t use it as well as George cutter does, his examples are excellent, in comparison to my scruffy sketches. It’s easy to use.

Beautiful sketch, Fiona!

Thank you Cesare.
