What is a silverpoint?
Silverpoint drawing is literally drawing with silver, usually a
silver wire on a "ground" which is a mixture of white
pigment and rabbit skin glue; this mixture is painted on the
drawing surface in several coats and sanded between each
layer.
It is the most common type of metal point drawing; other
metals used are gold, copper and brass.
Drawing with metal has been used for many centuries prior
to the common usage of the lead pencil.
It is a very sensitive medium, wonderful for conveying
delicate images and extremely durable. Silverpoint lends
itself to spontaneous drawing and careful planning, partly
because erasure is difficult. It is an interesting process in
that silver will mark the pigment-glue ground but will not
make a mark
on untreated surfaces. The pressure applied does not change
the value (darkness) of the line; dark areas are made by
placing lines closer together or cross-hatching.
Silver does not smudge like graphite and the pigment-glue
ground converts paper to a very durable surface. Silver and
other metals tarnish with age, darkening and changing color,
leaving the surface with a beautiful patina.
I have made silverpoint drawings since graduate school and
they are exhibited internationally. My art work, including
silverpoints, is found in over 100 collections, both public and
private in the USA, Great Britain, Mexico and Canada.
