Be prepared to learn skills specific to my charcoal technique and have questions ready that relate to my process, art marketing and business. We'll have a nice chat while we create!

Wonderful course!
Well, sometimes you think you’ve honed in on your favorite medium and techniques, untilllll … someone shows you a new way of looking at your art. I LOVE charcoal, I LOVE working on textured canvas, and I LOVE learning from Joel👏 I am a huge fan, follower and student…Thanks, Joel! I can’t wait for the next 3 workshops 😀
The course was easy to understand and follow along.
I really enjoyed the workshop. The first time since high school where I got to work along side a teacher and focus solely on techniques. I followed along easily and finished my piece on time. I’ve been working with charcoal for a few years now and still managed to pick up a few helpful techniques from Joel. It was nice to relax, create and work in the comfort of my own studio.
Great workshop! Joel shared all of his tips and techniques, showing his unique process from start to finish. As someone who has tried to master charcoal on canvas, without much success on my own, I greatly appreciated the insights he shared. I highly recommend this to anyone who loves charcoal and would like to move from paper based work to canvas.
