Original artwork description:

Last Leaf — silverpoint drawing on Arches Hot Press (HP) paper, 300 g/m2 on with white acrylic primer.

To hold on with last strength when others decided to let go.

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; silver stylus; acrylic primer
