Artists have used charcoal to draw figures for millennia, since the first piece of burnt wood was used to scratch out figures or a scene on a cave wall. And it never hurts to realize that when you learn how to draw charcoal works you are in the best artistic company of all—the Old Masters were incredibly prolific in the medium, and contemporary masters create charcoal drawing art as well. It is also exciting to know that as we put charcoal stick to paper and create charcoal drawings, we are not only connecting to artists from the past and present, but we are also “paying forward” the pursuit in our own way, and keeping it a viable artistic option for the next generation of would-be charcoal artists.
Mastering your ability as a charcoal artist to create simple charcoal drawing art pieces, like still lifes, means that eventually you will be able to take this skill and apply it to more complicated works. So get started on your own charcoal painting progress and watch the free video today to master this historic art technique.
