Scratchboard Art
Scratchboard art is a form of engraving. The board surface is a medium made up of three layers. The layers include a Masonite panel covered with smooth, white clay and the final section is a thin layer of India Ink. The result is a solid black surface to start the engraving.
As a scratchboard artist, I use various tools to scratch through the black surface to reveal the white clay below. Every stroke is created by hand with lines, dots and tonal variations determined by how many lines are scratched in a particular area or how much white clay is exposed. The end results are stunning black and white animal portraits.
