“Charcoal to me is magical, mysterious and mystical.
How can this feather-weight dust of a burnt piece of wood
have delicacy and boldness, sensuousness and ruggedness,
and transform a plain piece of paper into the presence of a living thing?
It’s range of expression reaches back to the most ancient times.
It has offered every artist throughout millennia personal expression,
adapted to every whim of style and subject and still maintain an eternal quality -
from the cave dwellers to the Renaissance to Impressionism
and gratefully to my hand as well.”
Sir Roland Richardson
