Metalpoint Definition
Metalpoint refers to a small, sharp rod of metal used for drawing used since middle ages. Metalpoint art was at its peak in Renaissance period and got revived in the nineteenth century. Metalpoint rods are usually made from lead, gold and silver. The metal point medium is considered challenging for an artist. The metalpoint lines appear grey in the beginning, but some metals like silver oxidize and change color with time.
