#504 Silverpoint

7″ x 5.5″ … with washed out water color. I draw the color, then hold it under running water… work the silverpoint into and around the remaining patterns. I used water soluble Neo-Color crayons… they take to the ground better than brushing wet water colors on and leave a texture that is caught by the silverpoint, and shading over them darkens the underlying color, as though the silverpoint itself were colored. Something to explore…
