In this beginner-friendly Silverpoint Drawing workshop, you will explore the delicate and timeless technique of drawing with a metal stylus on specially prepared surfaces.
Throughout the session, you will learn the fundamentals of silverpoint, including how to create fine, detailed lines and subtle tonal variations. The workshop will cover topics such as surface preparation, mark-making techniques, and the unique qualities of silverpoint as a medium. Expect hands-on guidance, with opportunities to practice both controlled, precise marks and looser, more expressive lines.
By the end of the workshop, you will have a deeper appreciation for this historical technique and leave with a completed silverpoint drawing of your own! Whether you're an experienced artist or a beginner, this class offers a fresh and enriching approach to drawing.
All supplies will be provided by your instructor or by Catalyst. Recommended to bring:
- A sketchbook of your designs/drawings to reference during class
