Enjoy having a Renaissance moment with silverpoint drawing

‘Xanthos’, an original silverpoint drawing heightened with white chalk by Dr Elizabeth Sherratt

Silverpoint drawings may evoke the elegance of Renaissance art, but this medium continues to thrive as a method of creative expression for modern artists. Silverpoint is a favourite medium of mine for drawing, which allows me to explore the beauty and sensitive nature of horses.

If you would like to know more about traditional drawing methods, I encourage you to explore Renaissance drawings and seek out contemporary silverpoint artists. Despite being a centuries-old medium, silverpoint still holds the power to create artwork that resonates today.
