The technique in detail
Charcoal and color on one picture give the black a counterpart. Paintings with charcoal from 500 to 1,000 euro are for sale here, in styles from abstract to quiet mixed-media sheets.
Charcoal can be rubbed with a finger, lightened with an eraser and secured with fixative. As a drawing beneath acrylic it works as a scaffold, as a closing line on top it sets accents. That mobility appeals to artists who work fast and directly.

What to expect from 500 to 1,000 euro
At this level originals often show medium formats and a recognizable visual language of their own. If you look for canvas, compare acrylic on canvas with acrylic on paper or board, and if you like variety, look at mixed media.
Placement
Charcoal loves calm, even light. Do not hang the work in blazing sun or above a bath. A light mat or a broad margin lets the black breathe.
