|
An old drawing medium, used primarily during the Renaissance.
Involved the use of silver wire, which was used to draw on a prepared (gessoed) surface The Silver would be deposited onto the surface and the drawing would only "emerge" and become visible through the natural process of oxidation (tarnishing) over a period of months The resulting drawings have a ver delicate, silver-grey appearance. Artwork: Leonardo da Vinci "Head of a Woman" |
