Original artwork description:

Physalis — silverpoint drawing on Arches Hot Press (HP) paper, 300 g/m2 on with acrylic primer. I found some silver spoons and used them for drawing with a stylus.

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
