Silverpoint

I tried out silverpoint for the first time today.  Silverpoint is a medium of the Renaissance.  Pure silver (or gold, copper, pewter, brass) are used to draw on a properly prepared paper.  It is unforgiving in that one can't really erase.  Another fun fact is that over time with exposure to air pollutants the drawings change and get darker (except for goldpoints).
