When Charcoal Burnt into the Pages of the Art World

Charcoal as an artistic medium was used in cave paintings and to outline temple drawing in ancient Egypt!

Which means it’s been around for EVER as an artistic tool.

Front runners and revolutionary men like Matisse and Picasso brought more charcoal into the limelight, followed by a wealth of other talented artists using the medium. As the 20th century dawned, it became apparent that Charcoal was here to stay and be doted on.
