Drawing in Silverpoint

August 15, 2015November 2, 2025

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…

Review and artworks from Lindsay Gordon, Drawing Academy graduate

I am a 77-year old male retiree who has been searching for an activity that is creative and fulfilling in my twilight years. My home is in Melbourne, Australia but I am currently staying with my daughter for three months in Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

I have been quite creative with my photography over many years but found it a little too easy to produce very good results. After retiring several years ago I took up wood-turning and produced many very nice pieces but had to give it up because it was so messy in a home environment and became quite dangerous when I developed shaking hands as a side effect of medication for a mild heart condition. What both wood-turning and photography showed me is that I do have a bit of a creative streak in me…

Still-Life in Charcoal

June 19, 2015January 10, 2018

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,

Please see my drawing of a horse. I am not sure how to know when my drawing is finished. What could you suggest to complete this drawing? Also, could you also talk about the background, which was just grass? …

Artwork by Leonard, Drawing Academy student

My Story started back in 1976. I took art in Junior High and High School. I learned the basics and that was about it. I continued to draw until about 1981/1982 when i was in the Military. I served 21 years and retired in 2000.

In early 2014 I felt this longing to draw again so I went a bought an art pad and some pencils and started to draw and realized that I really sucked at it. I almost gave up.

My loving wife if 30 years told me to keep at it and I would get better. I searched the web for drawing lessons. I found many that were for computer aided drawings. So I found videos on YouTube I watched and applied what I was learning. Then I came crossed the Drawing Academy and thought I would give it a try…
