History of Charcoal Drawing
The drawing charcoal consists of pressed charcoal powder.
It is a frequently used medium in art because it is cheap and easy to make yourself and offers good opportunities for corrections. It can also be used linearly and pointedly, as well as broadly, smudged and painterly. It dusts heavily and smudges easily, which means that fixing is necessary. Various types of wood are used in its production, such as willow, linden, fruit trees and others. It is important that the wood has grown evenly.
Coal must not be too soft & not too hard
The charcoal must not be too soft, but also not too hard, otherwise it will smear or splinter, and it must also blacken well. The cut sticks are wrapped in clay as bundles or placed in a sealed clay pot. They are then slowly baked in an oven. In more recent times, charcoal powder has also been pressed into sticks, which allows for different degrees of hardness. Charred wood has been used for drawing since ancient times, as many cave drawings attest. Nevertheless, up until the Middle Ages it was still used as an aid, for example for preliminary drawings or for practice.
Fixing a charcoal drawing
It was only with the increased appreciation of hand drawings globally and the trend towards suitable fixation methods from the 15th century onwards that works were created using such methods that were the final goal and not the preliminary stage. From then on, fixation was done either by placing the paper in a glue bath or by spreading it with glue. The perfect method was to coat the paper with glue before drawing, apply the charcoal after it had dried, and then soften the glue in steam and fix the drawing in this way.
