Silverpoint Drawing Tool
A Traditional Art Tool Made Modern

A centuries-old technique of drawing with silver, silverpoint drawings tarnish beautifully over time. Now Yasutomo Silverpoint Drawing Tools make it easy for anyone to try their hand at this classic technique!

Points are 99% silver for an authentic silverpoint drawing experience. The beveled point shape allows for different line thicknesses. Black, bamboo-shaped handles are fashioned from wood for an elegant appearance and comfortable grip. Available in 1mm and 2mm point sizes.

Refill points are also available in 1mm and 2mm sizes. Simply unscrew worn points from the reusable wooden handle and replace with refills.

Jacquard Dorland’s Wax

It is always exciting when artists discover new applications for tried-and-true mediums. During the pandemic, Jacquard’s Dorland’s Wax Medium became hugely popular as a protective, waterproofing topcoat for watercolor and gouache artwork. Word about this “new” application went viral on social media, and Dorland’s Wax quickly became one of Jacquard’s top products.

Traditionally positioned as a cold wax oil painting medium, Dorlands’ Wax is now most popular as a varnish for paper, canvas, wood, clay, and more. It allows watercolorists to display their artwork without glass, and to be handled without fear of smudging, fingerprints, or dust. Jacquard has updated the label to reflect this application and is recommending retailers merchandize it in both the oils and watercolors aisles.

Be sure to recommend Dorland’s Wax for watercolorists looking for topcoat options and include it on the gift list for the watercolorist in your life. Its malleable finish can be left matte, which is nearly invisible, or buffed to high gloss.
