Charcoal Painting

“A colourist makes his presence known even in a simple charcoal drawing” –Henry Matisse

Coal or charcoal which is a black crumbly material made of carbon has its usage not just limited to culinary purposes but has taken artistic ventures too. Hence charcoal painting is a form of a dry art medium, where paintings are made using charcoal. Sketching mostly uses this method as an alternate to pencils.
