Original artwork description:

Apple Slice — silverpoint drawing on Arches Hot Press (HP) paper, 300 g/m2, coated with white gouache.

Silverpoint drawing reminds me of the old masters like Leonardo Da Vinci, who utilized silver on a prepared surface for his artwork. When you look at the work from an angle, it shines like a noble metal. Over time, the silver drawing will oxidize and change color, as if growing up along with its owner.

Materials used:

100% cotton archival paper, 300 gsm; professional watercolor paints
