I don't pay much attention to that since these are mainly done just so I'll have something to do. No deadlines to worry about. They take as long as they take, no big deal. Personally I like the first candlelight drawing better,but I'm pretty happy with the way this one came out too.

Co...Thanks but I'm not sure I want to be king. Court jester maybe or master of the stables. Yeah, in charge of the horses, that sounds good.<br /><br />There are a couple commercial silverpoint grounds out there. Golden makes one that I've never used and Studio Products used to make one but it wasn't very good. Acrylic gesso works but it's a bit of a bother to use and you usually wind up doing some sanding. I use a 50/50 mix of gouache and acrylic gouache. Easy to use, no sanding required and you get a nice silky surface to work on. Gouache or the acrylic gouache will work on its own, but together they solve each's individual shortcomings.<br /><br />Thanks for dropping by.Dave Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15878045871541296376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2246591235411179498.post-10404244822638214612011-09-28T11:39:32.003-07:002011-09-28T11:39:32.003-07:00You are the king of silverpoint.

You make folds and drapery look so convincing.<br /><br />I can't recall if I asked you before, but what grounds do you use for the silverpoint? Are they specifically for silverpoint or do you use acrylic paint or gesso?<br /><br />Frustrating to have to start over, but yes, better to have done so, than fret over the smudge every time you looked at the piece again.Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.com
