Charcoal Drawing for Sale

A study, a sketch, a portrait, a nude drawing, the memory of a landscape... Quickly, it must be sketched. And what better tool for a drawing than charcoal?

The so-called natural charcoal, is in fact a charcoal, that is to say a branch of shrub partially burned. It is usually willow, plane tree, birch or spruce. Each plant species will give a different look to the design. Thanks to its thick and easy to blend texture, charcoal allows the artist to play with a wide range of monochrome shades. This tool also allows a great freedom of movement. 

However, the handling of charcoal must be delicate to prevent it from breaking, so the technique of the draftsman or illustrator must be excellent. Finally, the lines obtained with charcoal are more pronounced, rougher, wilder than those made with sharpened tools such as pencil, pen or marker.

Let yourself be seduced by the charcoal drawings on Artsper, between the delicate nudes of Eliane Bonabel, the hyperrealistic drawings of François Bard or the powerful sketches of Ernest Pignon Ernest, among many others...
