Charcoal painting 

You should always remember to work carefully as correction is very difficult . Another thing to keep in mind is that charcoals are difficult to do in humid weather and all care should be taken to avoid any contact with moisture at any stage of painting. Framing should be with glass or other protection. Fixatives if available, must be applied as soon as the project is completed. The above charcoal was done by Shilpa Shantaram

A simple landscape or still life will be done on handmade paper by students which will help in assessing their capabilities.
