Head and shoulders of Laetitia, Silverpoint on prepared Legion paper
Inspired by the Renaissance Masters: Leonardo da Vinci and Rembrandt in particular, Andrea Vercocchio’s unique and ancient techniques that speaks to individuals. Silverpoint drawings are delicate, intimate artworks, best seen close-up. The medium requires a detailed application, and the oxidised silver marks have a luminous colour that mellows with time. The drawing will change within months of being executed - the grey lines and marks become warm-toned. Silverpoint first lines are very light and darks are slowly built up with overlaying lines and more pressure being used. The dark tones will be achieved with intersecting hatched lines. The beauty of using silver is that as the drawing ages, the metal tarnishes and the lines change from the initial soft silver grey to a sepia appearance.
