Record Type: concept
metalpoint (technique) (drawing techniques, <drawing and drawing techniques>, ... Processes and Techniques (hierarchy name))

 

Note: The technique of using a metal rod, usually in a holder, to write or draw on a surface, often paper, parchment, or wood that has been covered by a ground. Ivory is another common support. As the point moves across the surface, it leaves behind a thin layer of the metal, which quickly oxidizes. For example, lines from silver points becomes the brownish grey of tarnished silver and lines from lead points becomes very dark.

Additional Notes:
Dutch ..... Techniek waarbij met een metalen staafje, meestal in een houder, wordt geschreven of getekend op een oppervlak, vaak van papier, perkament of hout. Dit oppervlak is daarbij bedekt met een ondergrond. Voor de drager wordt ook vaak ivoor gebruikt. Wanneer de stift over het oppervlak gaat, blijft er een dun laagje van het metaal achter, dat snel oxideert. Lijnen van zilverstiften krijgen bijvoorbeeld de grijsbruine kleur van aangeslagen zilver en lijnen van loodstiften worden heel donker.
