A demanding technique that allows no corrections, the method was used in the Renaissance by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, and it was revived in the late 19th century. Beginning in 1896, the art supply company Winsor-Newton offered a kit with a silverpoint tool and prepared paper. Dewing skillfully exploited the qualities of this technique to create an image with a silvery sheen, which seems to float upon the paper.</span></p> </blockquote> </blockquote>http://arspictoria.tumblr.com/post/35855838537http://arspictoria.tumblr.com/post/35855838537Fri, 16 Nov 2012 12:00:50 -0800<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdgd1dmOyX1qghk7bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://www.cavetocanvas.com/post/35737047264/thomas-wilmer-dewing-reclining-nude-figure-of-a">cavetocanvas</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://americanart.si.edu/collections/search/artwork/?id=6775">Thomas Wilmer Dewing</a>, <em>Reclining Nude Figure of a Girl</em>, n.d.</p> </blockquote>http://arspictoria.tumblr.com/post/35847208504http://arspictoria.tumblr.com/post/35847208504Fri, 16 Nov 2012 09:01:01 -0800<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_mdgd7qum1t1qghk7bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://www.cavetocanvas.com/post/35746603295/thomas-wilmer-dewing-alma-c-1895-1900-from-the">cavetocanvas</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Thomas Wilmer Dewing, <em>Alma</em>, c. 1895-1900</p> <p>From the <a href="http://americanart.si.edu/collections/search/artwork/?id=6780">Smithsonian American Art Museum:</a></p> <blockquote> <p><span>Thomas Wilmer Dewing fancied intellectual, witty women and once wrote that all he ever required of his models was that they have “brains”; his wife, Maria, believed his favorite types of women possessed a “delicacy of form” that amplified their spirituality and intellect.
