The Abig Silverpoint Tool is ideal for silverpoint drawings, intaglio engraving or preliminary drawings on fabric. It consists of a 50mm long silver rod in a wooden handle.

By sharpening the silver rod in this Abig Silverpoint Tool it can be used for almost its entire length.

Silverpoint is an ancient drawing medium used extensively during the Renaissance. Essentially, silverpoint drawing is based on a prepared Gesso surface upon which the artist draws with a fine silver stylus. The acrylic Gesso primer is applied in layers to the paper or panel and the final layer sanded smooth. When first applying silver to a properly prepared panel or paper, the drawing leaves a greyish line. In turn, these lines tarnish over time giving the drawing a unique mature look.
