What is the origin of the Charcoal technique?

Charcoal is a material that comes in the form of sticks (close to charcoal), generally coming from a branch of willow or charcoal (eponymous shrub) charred in a vacuum. This material is mainly used for drawing. It makes it possible to obtain very deep blacks, precise lines, fine or on the contrary very wide, depending on how it is used. It can be erased without difficulty, which makes it a technique of choice for the realization of preparatory work or sketches, but makes its conservation delicate without the use of fixative (varnish or lacquer). Many emblematic artists have used the charcoal technique, especially for their sketches: Leonardo da Vinci, Verrocchio, the Carrache brothers, Eugène Delacroix, Francisco de Goya, Edgar Degas, Georges Seurat or even Odilon Redon.

Origins and History

Charcoal paintings have been around for centuries, with origins dating back to prehistoric times. The ancient Egyptians used charcoal to create their famous hieroglyphics, while artists in the Renaissance era used charcoal to create preliminary sketches of their works. However, contemporary charcoal paintings emerged in the 20th century as artists sought new ways to express themselves. Charcoal paintings gained popularity in the mid-1900s with the rise of abstract expressionism, a movement that placed emphasis on spontaneity and emotion. Artists such as Willem de Kooning and Jackson Pollock used charcoal to create bold, dramatic works that embodied the ethos of the movement. Today, contemporary charcoal paintings remain popular among artists and collectors alike, with many artists experimenting with different techniques and styles to create unique and powerful works of art. Some of the queries related to charcoal paintings include the materials used, the techniques employed, and the stylistic choices made by the artist.
