What makes charcoal so appealing
A charcoal picture gets by with little material and still feels deep. Paintings with charcoal under 500 euro are for sale here, an entry to a technique that works with contrast, gesture and stillness.

In this price tier
Under 500 euro, originals often mean smaller formats, sketches, studies and works on paper, frequently with a handwriting of their own. If you like abstract motifs, look at Abstract, and if you want color too, at Acrylic.
