 Silverpoint and Meticulous Drawing LAURA SHECHTER
Interestingly, the Venetian painter Canaletto is a master of the sensuous surface and light touch in his pen and ink drawings and etchings--but not in his paintings.
So an artist such as Leonardo, who was perhaps the most sensitive draftsperson in all art history, is much more successful in silverpoint than an artist such as Michelangelo who is relatively heavy-handed in his drawing.
Richards is a well-known artist working in a meticulous technique who creates very sensuous surfaces; his drawings are not silverpoint but remain in the low-contrast world of a 5H to 9H graphite.

 Tallulahs Directory of Classical Master Artists Techniques; Silverpoint Techniques
By the mid 1500s, silverpoint began to be replaced by graphite, as artists were making the switch from the strict laws of egg tempera to the discovery of oil paints.
The distinct beauty of silverpoint over pencil is that silverpoint will tarnish over a short period of time, causing a brownish and silver look that is quite unique.
One of the oldest drawing techniques known to artists is silverpoint.

The art of silverpoint is centuries old but given a contemporary twist by Jeannine Cook.
However, unlike a pencil drawing, silverpoint requires completions of a line once it begins - no erasure is possible.
In the simplest of terms, the artist drawing with a sterling silver scribe creates silverpoint.

 The Art of Silverpoint Drawing
Silverpoint drawing, I explain it is like drawing with a 6H pencil that you cannot erase.
Silverpoint was an ubiquitously knownn media as pencil is today;neither considered it significant enough to discuss in any detail.

 Silverpoint on Prepared Board by Diana Fairbanks Daniel Smith Art Supplies
Part of the silverpoint drawing process was to prepare a functional surface because sterling silver would only mark on an abrasive substrate...
Silverpoint, the 'pencil' of an earlier time, respected no such right.
This surface lends a slight "lithography" look to silverpoint.

it is possible for the contemporary artist to execute bold, expressive, modern works using silverpoint; the key is in the ground used.

 Art and Optics : David G. Stork: van Eyck
Incidentally, I left the rectangular grid on my enlargement, though clearly I could have erased it; regardless, if the enlargement were the basis for an oil painting, the oil paint would obscure the grid.
The first patch consists of the mouth, nose and much of his face at the left.
If the painting is then shifted up by 18 pixel-block steps, the pinna (top of ear) matches well.

I began learning about and creating silverpoint drawings in 1983.

 Silverpoint Description
Silverpoint is a technique that uses a fine piece of silver (like the lead in a pencil) to draw on specially prepared paper.
In Roman times it was used as a means for writing on 'pergamino' which was made from lamb skin.
The great time for silverpoint was during the Italian renaissance.

 Dan Murray: About Silverpoint, Washington DC Artist
During the Renaissance, artists discovered that when certain metals were dragged across a gessoed surface, they left a mark.

 Silverpoint's Journal
Decided that this woodless pencil drawing of a model will have to suffice for the time being - I drew it in life drawing class this past year.
I want to get some actual silverpoint drawings up here, but need to scan them.
They can be kind of tricky, because the contrast is relatively low - a delicate sterling line on a tinted paper doesn't give the scanner a lot of contrast to work with.

 silverpoint - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about silverpoint
Being indelible and not liable to smudge, the silverpoint was convenient for the sketchbook, as in that which Dürer took with him on his visit to the Netherlands.
Lead, copper, and gold metalpoints were also used, but silver was most popular in the 15th and 16th centuries.
The ground was composed of powdered bones and gumwater, giving an ivory finish, though in Italy, and especially in Florence, tinted grounds were favoured.

 SilverPointWeb.Com - Evaluation of an Alternative Ground for Silverpoint Drawing
I really wanted it to work out well, for then my search for a good silverpoint ground would be over and I could concentrate on drawing.
Incidently, my pure silver point works much better on their ground than their $25.95 silverpoint tool does.
Unfortunately, based on my research in the British Museum and knowing what was possible through my observations of some of the masterworks, I felt that my search must continue.
