Opis
Artists looking for a fresh approach to their work will enjoy this rich resource offering complete instruction on the dynamic art form known as scratchboard.
The book outlines the long history of the art, from petroglyphs, sgraffito, and scrimshaw to the state of the medium today, pointing out new surfaces, tools, and methods. Basic techniques are explored, such as scratching on an ink-blacked surface and applying ink or acrylics on a white clay surface. Other methods are airbrush, gouache, watercolor, oils, tempera, and colored pencils.
“Artists looking for new ways of interpreting their work will be pleased to find this on library shelves.”— Library Journal , July 2001
