Artist's Comments

This is a bird skeleton from my art professor's office. We learned silverpoint in class the other day and this was what I drew. I think it's a chicken skeleton.

Silverpoint on a blue-prepared ground, heightened with white watercolour on Bristol paper.

There really isn't that much watercolour on it, it's just the white bits on the bones. The ground is gouache with a little bit of blue and black watercolour mixed in. Other than that, it's all silverpoint.

Gouache is kind of like watercolour, but it's opaque and I think only comes in a tube. Silverpoint is pretty much what it sounds like: you coat a piece of bristol paper with gouache and draw on it with a piece of silver wire. My stylus is really ghetto; it's just a little piece of sanded-down silver wire taped to the end of a pencil with masking tape.

Thou shalt not think any male over the age of 30 that plays with a child that is not their own is a pedophile. Some people are just nice.
