This is fabulous! I just discovered this brand new course starting right from the beginning as all the other (medium)courses. Love this teaching method.
Thank you so much – will need some more decades to go through all the courses you offer.
Have a great day,
Buddy
Love this! I’m glad I checked to see if your promised charcoal course was up. Thanks for releasing as you complete.

Hi Matt !
I only have willow charcoal and I can’t put my hands on vine charcoal. The more I use charcoal the more I realise that I can’t make the same marks as in the tutorials, and I begin to believe that it might be a problem… In your opinion is vine charcoal mandatory ?
Thanks in advance 🙂
Hi Vincent,
The willow charcoal is nearly the same as vine charcoal. You can use the willow charcoal in place of vine charcoal.
Thanks Matt, I’ll stick with the willow charcoal then !
Hi Matt
Thank you for this, and all your other courses – loving them. Please can you suggest improvisation for a kneaded eraser? I cannot find them where i currently live? Can I use sticky tack for example?
Thank you!
Hi Christina,
There really isn’t a substitute for a kneaded eraser. Can you order one online? This type of eraser is critical to working with charcoal.

Hi Roger,
Perhaps you should go to a different course then. 🙂

Now what ?
Hi Matt!
I have a few questions about products. What types of paper does your use for charcoal drawings and does it matter? Because I don’t have any of the paper you use. Another question is wether or not it matter when you use a blending stump or a blending tortillas tortillion?
Thank you so much!

Matt;
Would you please consider a lesson on using Tinted Charcoal Paint Pan Sets.
I just purchased a set & would love to learn how to paint landscapes using this medium. Thank you Matt, but I’m struggling with learning the techniques in the Watercolor classes. I’m not sure what I don’t understand, but I’m struggling with the pears.
Thank you, Stormy
Hi Matt,
Could you please provide the brands for Vine Charcoal / Willow Charcoal
Thanks,
Chinni
Hi Chinna,
You can use any brand that you wish. Charcoal is unaltered by the manufacturer and the brand that you use doesn’t matter.
