I made my own charcoal, yeah!
I cut branches from the willow just outside my studio, debarked them (a bit of work...),
cut them to size to put into a metal bin.
Then we put this bin on an open fire,
lots of steam comes out of it and after a while when the steam stopped,
we opened the bin and found lots of charcoal.
With a small drawing we tested the quality, and yes, I can use them, happy!
We used the tips from Nick Neddo, who wrote a book on the Organic Artist.
