Drawings in charcoal and crayon for the use of students and schools
by
This book covers the foundations of traditional charcoal drawing methods that artists like John Singer Sargent first learned when he was studying in France.
Charcoal is an absolutely amazing medium to use. It’s basically just burnt wood, but with it “large and striking effects are so easily and quickly produced, while it is also adapted to the most careful work, and may be carried on to any degree of finish”
My favorite way to use charcoal right now it to use soft vine charcoal(charcoal from burnt grape vines) and drawing large, rhythmic lines on large newsprint.
Do check out this online pdf of this book if you’re interested in learning charcoal drawing.
Let me know if you guys have any questions!
