Trying out willow charcoal again


I bought willow charcoal a while ago but haven't used it apart from one quick sketch just to test it out. I fished it out of my art box again today for this sketch of the Grand Canal.  I was just going for the basic shape of the canal but even then I find charcoal very difficult to work with.  It's also pretty messy.  You certainly get found out pretty quickly as an artist.  I have much respect for those who can do amazing work with this stuff.
