Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Silverpoint requires that the paper be prepared with pigment or glue in order to create a lasting image. Unlike charcoal, pencil, or pastel, silverpoint uses a silver wire on a prepared surface that causes a chemical reaction, leaving a distinct line. It cannot be erased or smudged, making it a very precise medium. It does not require a fixative to keep the image on the paper, as it is already permanent. It also does not use paint to create the image, as it is a dry medium.
