I've been looking into silverpoint lately; if you don't mind my asking, what type of ground did you use, and what is the age of the tarnish on this piece?
As always, love your work!

This piece is actually only about a week old and is very white. I just photo things in my rather orangely lit room. A bad habit!
The ground i use is simply layers of acrylic gesso. Usually i'd make it quite smooth but i put too much gesso on at once and it got a bit liney. Luckily i liked it in this =]
If you want to know anything else, feel free to ask! and thank you =]
