Head and Shoulders Portrait of a Lady in Silverpoint by Margot Stinton

Incredibly skilled work with a fantastic result Margot.

Really interesting and very well done

It's quite surprising that silverpoint materials are still available, given the small number of people who practise it these days; you so rarely see it. This drawing is one very good reason to see much more of it, it's a technique to be encouraged - the materials needed are few, the results, as in this case, well worth the effort.

I'd never heard of it but it has certainly worked for you.

Thank you Carole for your comment.

Thank you Heather for comment.

Thank you Robert Jones,Napa for your very special interest, it is the most beautiful and delicate medium to work with. There are very few suppliers today. Many thanks.

Thank you Peter for your interest in Silverpoint. It has been around I think since the Renaissance period.
