Silver point means "silver brush"。However, the general public probably does not understand、It is a sport that is firmly connected to the essence of current sports.。pure silver、If you rub it against something harder than that、It scrapes and sticks there.。It oxidizes and darkens、Becomes as black as a pencil。Using a silver rod with the tip shaped like a pencil lead,、Painting using natural chemical changes、tool、The works are collectively called Silver Point.。
What happened?、Is it a substitute for a pencil?、isn't it。Silver is expensive、It takes time to oxidize。Cheap like pencil (graphite)、easy、It is not convenient to use。Besides,、A tedious step called “basework” is always required.。Conversely、I realized how great an invention the "pencil" was as a tool of civilization (even though it is becoming unnecessary in modern times)。

It is not only silver that oxidizes and darkens.。both iron and aluminum、There are many other metals that oxidize.。The drawings (materials) using these are collectively called metal points.、It seems that it is used for that purpose (I heard that you can draw pictures by rolling up aluminum foil and rubbing it).。But、Silverpoint is especially popular as an art material.、After all, it's probably because of the elegance that silver itself has.。Sea bream even if it rots、“Even if it rusts, it’s still silver” (is that an inappropriate analogy?)。By the way, "golden pens" should not exist.、right?

The painting in the photo has only been made for a few days.、Oxidation did not progress because there was no airflow.。In other words、Still in a “raw” state。I'm looking forward to seeing it after oxidation.。hectic modern times、Isn't this super slow production itself a luxurious time?。
