Drawing in Silverpoint with Susan Jones
Tuesday, September 9 or Wednesday, September 10
6:30pm, Shoreline Center - Classroom Wing
In Medieval and Renaissance times, before graphite ("lead") pencils were available, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci used a piece of silver to sketch in their design for a painting on a canvas or create drawings on prepared papers. Today, you learn to draw with a sterling silver to create distinctive soft marks that warm and darken over time, creating a nature drawing that develops a beautiful patina with age.
