Drawing in Silverpoint

Drawing in Silverpoint

Artwork by Carl, Drawing Academy student

I was inspired by the Victor Koulbak art article.

Here is my latest entry of a Pietro Annigoni painting, “Modella en Posa.” I hope you like it.

Some tips. Lay the ground with many coats so you can scratch off the silverpoint like an eraser without cutting into paper. Use old silver spoons, jewelry, earrings. Better silver than store bought stylus. You can layout drawing in charcoal or pencil and highlight in white chalk. Masters did it in charcoal before laying down the silverpoint…

Still-Life in Charcoal

Still-Life in Charcoal

Artwork by Dan S., Drawing Academy student

This is a still-Life that represents the geometric nature of common objects in perspective. It is an attempt to use cubes, ovals, spheres, and other basic shapes to produce realistic objects in combination and in physical relation to each other. These are arranged on a background drapery that provides additional depth as the object recede into space…

Hi Vladimir and Natalie,
