Charcoal is one of my favourite mediums, period. I love playing with it and getting it all over the place. The way you take it from the deepest black to the highlights makes me feel like I am really in there working and shaping the picture, like a sculptor.

Graphite is my favourite medium, only to be tied with charcoal. It is also the medium that I have been doing the longest.

Metalpoints are little rods of metal, in this case silver, that are used to create cross-hatching on paper. If the silver rods are rubbed against the paper it is then called silver rendering.

Coloured pencil is hard for me, mixing the colours and getting them just perfect is what I spend most of my time doing when I work in the medium.

I prefer oil pastels to soft pastels, which is odd because I love charcoal and I treat soft pastels as coloured charcoal sticks when I apply them to paper.

Water colour like charcoal, is fun to get all over the place. But like coloured pencil, I need the colours to be just right.

Watercolour is the exact opposite process of oil paint and charcoal. You need to establish the lights and glaze until you have the darkest colours correct, in this regard it is more like graphite and metalpoint.

Mixed martial arts, mixed signals, mixed senses, mixed nuts, the whole world is mixed. So it makes sense that mixed media is where the most fun is! Or at least I think so.
