“Drawing is the ‘bones’ of art. You have to be able to walk before you can run.” Dion Archibald
Charcoal is probably one of the oldest art materials and is very versatile in nature as a medium. It helps an artist do quick drawings in expressive strokes and the final black and white artwork is so impressive that one easily gets addicted to it. I am one of them. I took to this medium about twenty years back and I continue to be fascinated by it. Some of the advantages of this medium which I feel I need to share with the viewers are as following-
- Great help in creating tonal value drawings
- Helps simplify a complicated scene
- The bold, sweeping strokes helps an artist develop his/ her unique style
- Being a dry medium, it is easy to make corrections
- Very Economical
- Can be carried easily for outdoor/ plein air works
- It is a fast medium to work with ( Especially if one is doing preliminary study works )
Before the COVID lockdown, I was busy taking private workshops at my studio at home. However now I have started “Online Charcoal drawing and sketching workshop” using ZOOM app.
Apart from teaching the basics involved in creating a charcoal artwork, I shall also demonstrate step by step, one of the charcoal drawings as shown below. It will be a very interactive session wherein I shall be answering all the queries pertaining to this medium and will also share my personal tips and techniques which I have developed over a period of time. If you wish to attend my charcoal workshop in a group or one on one basis, mail me at manjupanchal5@gmail.com or call me at 91- 9082690127
Very beautiful painting. In free time I also do painting. People have always taken a keen interest in art all over the world. They find their inspiration in whatever style or type of art; the sense of connection often makes them enjoy the work. I have bought a beautiful painting from Juliet Bishop for my house.
