{"product_id":"golden-silverpointdrawing-ground","title":"Silverpoint\/Drawing Ground","description":"\u003cp\u003eGraphite and silverpoint need specific tooth to release their marks properly. Golden's Silverpoint\/Drawing Ground creates that receptive surface on virtually any substrate, paper, wood panels, canvas, even glass. The opaque white acrylic formula dries to a smooth, slightly textured finish that grips metal styli and graphite without abrading tips or creating unwanted resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis ground revives the Renaissance technique of silverpoint drawing, where silver wire leaves delicate oxidized marks that can't be erased. The prepared surface holds these subtle metallic traces while maintaining enough tooth for layered graphite work. Permanent and lightfast properties ensure drawings remain stable over time, while acrylic flexibility prevents cracking on supports that expand or contract. Apply thin coats with brush or palette knife, building opacity as needed, each layer adds subtle texture variation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTint the ground with fluid acrylics to create colored surfaces for white pencil or metallic point work. The prepared surface accepts corrections in early stages but rewards confident mark-making once dry. Metal drawing tools, graphite pencils, and colored pencils all respond distinctly to this ground's particular tooth, giving you control over line quality and tonal range that standard paper surfaces can't match.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Golden","offers":[{"title":"8 oz.","offer_id":47979282497765,"sku":"50547","price":17.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0726\/6890\/5701\/files\/s50547.jpg?v=1770330144","url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/golden-silverpointdrawing-ground","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
