Silverpoint

Silverpoint has been around for a long time. Perhaps the artists most well known for it are Albrecht Durer and Leonardo da Vinci. Silverpoint was used before artists had pencils. Residue from the various metals used (silver, gold or copper) is actually left on the ground as the artist draws. Over time, the silver oxidizes and the drawing ends up with a lovely patina, turning a warm brown.
