Hi Kasmin, thank you. I’ve seen other artists like Cesar Santos fix his charcoal when using it on canvas, but I’ve never had issues with it darkening or making my oil paint much different. All things are always needed to be taken in context; for example, if you have a dark section you previously drew in charcoal and you attempt to paint a bright white over top, it will turn a cool grey color.

Are you ever concerned about the charcoal or chalk interacting with the oil? Beautiful painting so far by the way. I think I’ll try and experiment with a black and white photo in the future because of this, thank you

Thanks Jan, such a different scenario for me when I'm in the studio alone vs. filming. Often times I wouldn't blink an eye at the level of painting in this session. Normally it is all part of the process, though when I feel I should have something to say or to offer as a solution to a problem, that is where it gets complicated. I appreciate the feedback, all is well! We'll keep learning together! :)

Painting is such a solitary endeavor it's good to see another artist struggle. You are teaching me that when the going gets tough - just keep on going, as I tend to give up too soon. Great to see how your scrapeing and daubing brought an area together.
