What is a silver point? Silver point 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 started making silver point drawings in graduate school while taking an art history class on the Old Masters; just decided to make the ground from a recipe that was 500 years old. The first silverpoint was made with the edge of a silver dime! Really loved the process so I'm still doing them. My art work, including silver points, is found in over 100 collections, both public and private in the USA, Great Britain, Mexico and Canada. |
