All of the details in this are simple yetstrategically placed. Swipes of different tones andcolours. Love the dusting of the Orche XL Block,almost looks like glitter!
What is your favourite way to use charcoal?
“My favorite way to use charcoal is to make bold,abstract lines in my work. The pigment of thecharcoal is usually super granulated and leads tolots of interesting textures and effects.”

Something completely different thatcaught our eye. The use of more of thelighter charcoal gives this forest an invitingand wintery vibe.
What were your first thoughts about this box?
“When I first opened the box I thinkthere was slight panic! Charcoal is not myusual medium and it is not something Iwould normally go too. However, boththe seawhite and different charcoalswere lovely - I particularly like all of thedepths of grey. Also, that blue paper -absolutely gorgeous and really makesthe colours pop!”

The marks. The texture. The depth.Everything about this piece is capturedperfectly. All those different tones builtup, right down to the tiny swipes ofwhite charcoal, give this such a mood.Fantastic work.
