Wow… ❤ that’s inspired a complete beginner…. Only started a couple of months ago… I’m sooo into charcoal and bought this nitram liquid charcoal and of course I’ve not used it … yet… Thank you for sharing your incredible fine art, your a genius ❤
Carissimo maestrissimo, another brilliant vlog - you just gave a 5-year instructional course in charcoal drawing in 15 minutes!!! One of the zillion things we instructors have to get our wannabe-a-Realist-painter students to understand is that, as you say here, a good work of Realism starts out ABSTRACT!! A painting/drawing is made of smudges and tones. As you know, this is how I make my underdrawing stage, but using oil paint, before I go on to the underpainting stage (usually, these days, in deadcolour). Annigoni, under whom I studied in the 1960s, would have loved this liquid charcoal!!! I'm passing this vlog on to our students at the Angel Academy-they'll learn a LOT! Thanks for this. (I'm going to be out of Florence for a part of the summer, giving workshops in Yorkshire and Ireland-after my workshop in Florence-but let's try to get together for a drink or five when you and Valentina are in Florence this summer!)
Forgive me, but I noticed that you stopped using the liquid charcoal at 3:50 and the remaining artwork was completed with solid charcoal 😅 I was hoping for a full demo on liquid charcoal like the title suggests. 😊 but your choice causes me to wonder if liquid charcoal is only best for initial stages? Is there some reason why you cannot use the liquid for the whole piece? Basically, I want to understand your thinking. Why did you choose to finish the piece with the solid charcoal over the liquid? Please, I would love to see a full liquid charcoal video if possible
HOW I DRAW WITH LIQUID CHARCOAL;-- Saw the video and yr above demonstration. You are a MASTER PAINTER. Only a few are gifted like that. Yr grasping of human details and the way the human body reflects different shades based on the angle with which it hits the figure is stunning. When you see closely at the figure one wonders whether it is painted or photographed, such are the delicate details. I am myself little experienced in drawing and painting but cannot come even near you. Yr grasping of human detauls and understanding of light and shade is inique and unparalled. Vatsa BANGALORE INDIA
Wow...Cesar The painting looks absolutely terrific I love the way the corner of the mouth, above the eye, the collar bone is defined.... And the loose strands of hair, and porcelain skin it's just so perfect
I just made my own for a school project by scraping the charcoal into a powder and adding it to water and gesso to create a painting. I didn't know they actually sold liquid charcoal! X3
the zip and pep in your performance is the reason why your work looks alive.SIMPLY AMAZING!! and thanks for introducing a new medium for me to try out!
Wow! A terrific drawing at every stage of it. I might have stopped when he was at about the halfway mark. A really good teaching demo! I can’t wait to try this!
Have found any quality difference between the original Nitram sticks and those now produced in Canada? What is that large blending pad you are using made of?
Very late reply and you've probably already got an answer but, just in case, yes it is erasable in the same way as regular charcoal, *when it has dried*.
Superb ! I enjoyed watching your technique in this one and how it evolved. I think I will try some of this liquid charcoal on my ink wash wax resist drawings. Thanks for posting this ! 👍😃
Very very nice work..... I love pencil drawing i love your all pencil work ..... Every work very helpful.... I am using your teknik.......... I am an little artist in India... U are a very talented...👉💗
Great review Cesar Santos. It's basically a mutation of two mediums behaviors: oils and watercolors because it's very flexible like oils where you can keep applying layers but the consistency of a water based property. I will try it.
Now you've got me excited about maybe using charcoal generally this media is Messi for me and I have always had a problem controlling. I've been way from art from so long that everything is new to me and exciting keep making videos thank you
It's the first time that I see this product and I'm really impressed, it looks great for an underdrawing. Such wonderful technique and skill increase my appetite for work like crazy :))
Amazing work and new material! Thanks for sharing. Would you please tell us what's the blue Square thing you rubb on the drawing from time to time? Thanks,dear Cesar!
Fabulous video, Cesar. Is the fine tapered ended long stick, just a charcoal stick that you have shaved yourself to that length and fine point?Please could you explain the benefits of such a long "instrument"?...I'm amazed it doesn't snap ? Do you wrap something round the other end as a handle? The only time you appear to use the liquid charcoal is at the start,is that right?
Fantastic demo ! I am ordering some today. Are you at an angle while drawing to avoid being in the camera shot but then your own view of the drawing would be skewed. How do you film the drawing straight on and still keep your own view accurate while drawing? Gracias.
Maestro a couple of question, what type of sponge are you are using, is that replacing the paper diffuser? the tip of the charcoal is that incredible long whats the idea to have such a long tip? you are using only the charcoal you show on the beginning of the video? Thanks
Your work is amazing as usual! I have two questions about the liquid charcoal! Is it really the same temperature of the sticks? The sticks look warmer in video! And also is the liquid charcoal erasable once it dries? Thank you for sharing your process on RUclips I always feel like I learn a lot by watching your videos!
Gum arabic makes it not erasable as it is a binder and you can only (in the way we usually talk about erasing as with rubber eraser) erase what only sits onto of a surface held by friction and static. But you can wash it off completely if your surface can take that.
@@alexvelasquez3945 honestly the way he used it is a good way to use it, seeing how muddy it looks I don't think it would be easy to paint a whole thing with it (with the same results of normal charcoal)! But then why use liquid charcoal like that when you can just use any other paints if it doesn't even have the property of charcoal? At the ends it's basically gouache 🤔 I think that mixing powder charcoal and only water would be better at this point.
@@weronoyume I just received it and was thinking it would have the property of charcoal once dry. Well you are right it's like basically using black gouache. Liquid charcoal I think is just a catchy name. Regular gouache would achieve the same effect.

Maestro! I get there in May, definitely see you
:o is this real? And you studied under annigoni 😵.
@@santocesart do you tattoo or have you tried? I see you got tattoos your self.
Preto do Zimbabwe This way easier to hide constructional mistakes, wrong proportions or a lack of likeness in portraits.
“Oh my”. This is splendid, she came to life before my very eyes. Thank you for showing us your art.
Cesar, you are truly an inspiration to every visual artist yearning to learn!
Yes, please share the block you're using for blending!
Thank you for demonstration and introduction about charcoal
I had never heard of liquid charcoal until today, and I've been using charcoal for about ten years now. What a great video.

Have found any quality difference between the original Nitram sticks and those now produced in Canada? What is that large blending pad you are using made of?
SOOOO; is this liquid charcoal easily erased? IF so, can it be erased with a kneaded eraser or does it need a different eraser to do the job?
Very late reply and you've probably already got an answer but, just in case, yes it is erasable in the same way as regular charcoal, *when it has dried*.
Beautiful painting/drawing!
just wow!
Brillante, gracias maestro

Great review Cesar Santos. It's basically a mutation of two mediums behaviors: oils and watercolors because it's very flexible like oils where you can keep applying layers but the consistency of a water based property. I will try it.

The video moved from wet to dry very quickly. Did you let the liquid charcoal fully dry before using dry charcoal?
Beautiful!
Great work Cesar. Love it.

Wow! You are amazing! Could tou tell me how you sharpen the charcoal please??
Maestro a couple of question, what type of sponge are you are using, is that replacing the paper diffuser? the tip of the charcoal is that incredible long whats the idea to have such a long tip? you are using only the charcoal you show on the beginning of the video? Thanks
What is that big black rectangular tool? Is that the sharpening block or a sponge or eraser? Great video as always. 👍

But he only used that liquit charcoal at the begining, most of the work was made with the normal, i think it is an advertisement video
@@alexvelasquez3945 more of a demo on how a artist could use their product
