Metalpoint Sparrow

No Comments
5”x5”, silverpoint on wood panel with Golden Silverpoint Ground.

I may want to do a little more on this small metalpoint drawing, but this was a good time to take a break. Drawing a a rigid surface was great, and I’ll definitely do this again. I was surprised at the value range.

A silver sheen appears when tilted toward the light.

It’s ironic that with graphite, artists want to avoid a sheen but with metalpoint, it’s considered to be kind of delightful.
