Hi,
I just starting to relearn scratchboard, I did some playing around with it way back in the late 1980's or early 1990's, before Ampersand products were available! Then I got hired to teach Geology at the local Community college, and that really sucked up all of my time. Thought I would post the three works I found tucked away in a closet.
Scaled Quail and Prickly Pear Cactus
Humming Bird and Trumpet Vine
Antelope
The only one that I am still sure of the materials I used is the antelope, that was several layers of gesso on hardboard, the black is acrylic paint, and the scratching was done with a very low heat wood burning tool, the acrylic of course, being too plastic to actually scratch.
I can't wait to get going with some good materials, the work you people are doing blows my mind!
Comments most welcome.
Becky
