Silverpoint Drawing
4×6″ lavender prepared paper
“Lenten Rose” was drawn with a silver stylus in a medium known as silverpoint, which pre-dates the pencil, and was used extensively during the Renaissance era. I prepared the paper with a pale lavender tone, then used white charcoal for highlights. The lines are actually silver and will tarnish over time to a shimmery sepia tone.
