Welcome to our latest weekend art challenge where we asked our students to create a piece of artwork using charcoal. They could choose any subject, just as long as charcoal was the main medium. It’s not the easiest of mediums to use, nor the cleanest! We are absolutely delighted to see the results our students created below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We love Kelley Brautigam’s Orchid drawing, it’s no mean feet to create something like this in charcoal. Well done to Kelly for some lovely drawing and excellent rendering skills. We also want to give a shout out to Gwen’s Wonky Donkey below…. Absolutely love it!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope that everyone has enjoyed working in charcoal. The idea of these challenges are to make our students step outside of their comfort zone a little and with something like this, it really does challenge you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We hope that everyone enjoyed this challenge. Stay tuned for a new Weekend Art Challenge posted here tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here’s my attempt at using charcoal. I bought two sticks of Charcoal plenty years ago to try it out. Now I was glad that I kept them.
The composition of the landscape is after a coloured picture, so it is not painted in nature or from memory. I enjoyed to try out the range of
Shading but I think the style and texture maybe hasn’t become pretty typical for Charcoal.

A ‘real life’ charcoal challenge!!! Drawing with water and then sprinkling with powdered charcoal. One of the first assignment exercises in Drawing and Painting course. Paul Weaver gave wonderful feedback – so helpful and detailed. He thought this one was ‘very Zen’. My husband thought it was a great portrait because it made him look 50 years younger – and it does! Paul said that one of his students didn’t have powdered charcoal and used ground coffee. I may try another one doing just that because husband is a very fussy coffee drinker!
