A new silverpoint drawing
silverpoint on gouache with a graphite underdrawing
I'm quite excited to be using silverpoint again, especially in the context of vanitas because the silver in the drawing will tarnish over time. This is the largest and probably most involved silverpoint drawing I've done thus far. The only problem with silverpoint is that it's very difficult to faithfully photograph. I plan on doing lots more of these, especially more drawings with bubbles.
For a fun comparison, here's the original drawing.
