|  | CHARCOAL, DRAWING LESSONS |  | | | Charcoal Art Although charcoal is sometimes considered a "beginner's" medium, this really is far from the truth. Vine charcoal is usually quite forgiving, allowing free flowing expression, but also capable of rendering careful details. Shading can be achieved in the fraction of the time it might take with a conventional pencil, and drawings/sketches produced on tinted papers with a hint of chalk can add a whole new dimension to your art.
