Drawings in Silverpoint

Drawing with a metal point is a technique that began in the late 14th century when paper became more readily available as a support. Silver and copper, the most common metal points, leave permanent marks on a prepared surface. With time they will develop a beautiful patina. The drawing is built up with a series of cross hatches. Since a metal point mark cannot be erased, the marks must be carefully calculated. 


The drawings in this series are done on Stonehenge paper prepared with silverpoint ground. Each drawing measures 2.25" x 3.25."
