Charcoal Re-Loaded

-

Ever since I've started calling myself an artist, I really wanted to explore the charcoal medium... I don't know what hinders me in doing so but I've actually made some a long time ago...

Accidentally discovering how to use rubber brushes... I thought it was another useless purchase thinking I could use those for acrylic. 



So perhaps I found another medium to hone.

I knew and understood what are my limitations and forces of influence by now, and though I am still at this phase of Acceptance, I believe it's about time to relaunch my Brand of Art. 
   I've been into self-evaluation, re-educating, and renewing my skill as a painter. It is either I paint for myself or hope something better happen. Either way,  I can't give up my core functionality. Following the lectures of Stefan Baumann reconfigured my thought process which had been decaying due to my own shortcoming. I would probably even do his homework which he assigns to his students.
