Experimenting by George Cutter

Fantastic George! I knew you would create something marvellous. Love it. What do you think to the charcoal?

I like it George.

Wonderful, George!

Nice George experimenting is fun and with little or no reference sometimes can bring good results . The more you do it gradually it gets easier as you build your knowledge , it's hard to start with , it's easier if you use procreate or Photoshop it's quicker and you don't waste paint then if you like one you can paint it oil or whatever . That's what David Sharpe does and he's doing very well selling his art and teaching .

Atmospheric experimenting George.

Very atmospheric George. Looks like our weather in Peak District these days

It’s a excellent piece George , always with experimenting as you learn so much and get some great results . I think your more relaxed and let things develop into something rather than forcing it.

A very atmospheric experiment!

Thank you all very much. It's been interesting to do. I bought the small set of Schminke Liquid charcoals and this was grape seed black. I will post the other two I have done using the two other charcoals that make up the set. I admit to be just following in the footsteps of Fiona who's work with this medium impressed me very much.

Fiona, thank you very much for commenting on this posting, I have used all three charcoals from this Schminke set now and I'm impressed. I have used charcoal a lot in the past but I find I can do more with this liquid kind than than I can with the solid sticks and powder. I found the Cherry Pit charcoal had a brownish hint to it Which I found strange at first, but have got used to it and quite like it . I haven't combined anything with the charcoals as yet but will try adding watercolour at some stage. Which make did you use? Thanks for the introduction .

This has lots of atmosphere.

I think both are really good !

Thank you very much Bobbie and Valerie.

Interesting, George, very atmospheric.

Love it!
