These are some of my favorite silverpoint drawings done over the last few years.

Silverpoint is the technique of drawing on a prepared surface with a silver wire. There are many ways of preparing a surface. I coat archival illustration board with white gouache. For drawing, I use silver wire procured from a jeweller mounted in a mechanical drawing pencil.
