About

Silverpoint, a drawing medium used by the old masters, utilizes a sterling silver wire to produce fine lines on a prepared ground. Over time, the lines tarnish and take on a coppery hue. Silverpoint drawings appear to glow due to the thin layers of silver reflecting light. In this workshop, students will be provided with a silverpoint stylus and will learn how to prepare paper to receive the silver marks, techniques of mark-making, building up layers of tone, and erasing or modifying their work. After learning the basics of silverpoint, we will focus on drawing botanicals.
