silverpoint
Silverpoint is a type of drawing technique that uses a stylus made of silver on specially treated paper or panels. This traditional method, popular during the Renaissance period, leaves tiny deposits of silver which can tarnish over time to a warm, brownish hue. The technique requires meticulous attention as it is impossible to erase or correct lines once drawn.
