Learn how to create delicate, gleaming drawings in silver! Silverpoint is a fascinating drawing medium. Before graphite pencils were developed, artists made drawings with silver wire! The medium can be challenging – you must prepare the surface before the silver will make marks and it is almost impossible to erase – but when you see your drawing shimmer in the light, you’ll know it’s well worth the extra preparation!

In this class, you will:
  • Learn how to prepare a ground that will accept the silver
  • Plan your drawing and transfer it to the ground
  • Learn how to draw with silverpoint and other silver objects
  • Create beautiful drawings of trees
