Drawing in Silverpoint with Susan Jones
In Medieval and Renaissance times, before graphite (“lead”) pencils were available, artists such as Leonardo da Vinci used a piece of silver to sketch in their design for a painting on a canvas or create drawings on prepared papers. Today, you learn to draw with a sterling silver to create distinctive soft marks that warm and darken over time, creating a nature drawing that develops a beautiful patina with age.
About the Instructor: Susan Jones is a Natural Science illustrator and instructor of botanical illustration at the University of Washington Extension Program.

About the Instructor: Theresa Neinas is a Seattle, Washington based artist who transplanted from the mid-west at age 19. That year was a turning point for Theresa as she had to make the choice to stay in Wisconsin or start a new life in Washington…with $200 in her pocket and a one way train ticket it was, at the time, a sound decision. She started out the first year of her educational journey at Viterbo College in La Crosse, Wisconsin and after years of taking fun classes she finally knocked off the science and math classes she need to receive her BA in Art from the University of Washington in 1990 (To her surprise she enjoyed those classes as well). Theresa has been doing lino block prints since 1995 (she is self taught in this medium) and has been enjoying its process ever since.
