More Silverpoint Work
This is pretty much a wrap for the silverpoint. There are hours of work here, not only for building up value but also for adding detail that didn't come across with the transfer. Silverpoint is a rather intriguing medium, sort of like a single tone graphite pencil that allows for a slow building of value with a point that never wears out.

Happy solstice to you too! I would be content with this piece just as it is. I guess that promises so well for what will follow.
ReplyDeleteYa, I kinda like the simplicity of the silverpoint but I am looking forward to how things shape up when I begin applying layers. It is not clear yet how long the underlying silverpoint will still show or if it can be leveraged.
ReplyDeleteAt some time, I would like to try a pure metalpoint piece, or a tempera/silverpoint combination. I'm excited to get started this evening. Updates later tonight...
