The ‘Wet Muse’ Series: Scratchboard
I’ve decided to start a series of articles about my art interests that began with the recent post, The Wet Muse.
A class I recently took was “scratchboard.” The name is the entire art — scratching marks on a board to reveal an image. The “board” is a white clay substance adhered to particle board and stained completely with black India ink. The boards come in a variety of sizes and finished art can be mounted in a “floater” frame for display.
