silverpoint

A quick blog post. I spent a few hours last night working on a new silverpoint drawing. Still unsatisfied by my camera's ability to capture the right detail, but pleased with the quality of the drawings overall.

84 and counting

I keep sewing paintchips. My rather large collection is diminishing and my finished pile keeps growing. I ran out of push pins. I'm adding to the wall, and liking the results more and more as the group grows.

Here's a picture of the progress.

Finished Silverpoint

I finally finished my 2nd large silverpoint drawing. Still struggling with getting a really sharp image with my not so great camera, but the lighting is better.
