Art Project #80- Charcoal Drawings

I realized the other week that I had never introduced my boys to using charcoal for drawing!  I thought they might enjoy learning about this new medium.

In searching for some easy charcoal drawing ideas I found this easy to follow YouTube video that I figured we could use together. Often I teach the boys by drawing or painting my design first and having them mimic me.  I really liked the idea of having them listen and follow someone else's instructions for once.

It was such a fun addition to our 100 Days of Art Challenge.


We started by sketching a rough outline of where we wanted our mountains. 


We Then started adding some shading.



The boys experimented with using different blending tools and their fingers.

    1. It was... but we discovered we really need more charcoal since we all kept sharing one or two tiny little sticks.

    1. It really is. I forgot how much I enjoyed drawing with charcoal.. though I think I'll save our next charcoal drawing for outside work this summer since it was quite messy!
