'Stormy' Scratchboard Art

This original miniature scratchboard artwork is titled 'After the Storm'. The scratchboard size is 4 in x 6 in. Though I have created an image similar to this drawing in the past, that drawing was 8 in x 10 in. This smaller board provided much more of a challenge to create the same effect, though it did take much less time. :o) Click on the image to be taken to its webpage for more information.

Winter Sunset Scratchboard

My art for this post is an original miniature scratchboard artwork titled 'Evergreen Sunset'. The scratchboard size is 3 1/4 in x 4 1/4 in. This is another drawing using the snowcovered evergreen theme. I created it to use for my 2004 holiday card. This tiny miniature artwork was done with an exacto blade on black scratchboard. Broad strokes of the blade removed the black ink to create the snow and to allow large areas of color. For the color, I used a small brush to apply opaque watercolor, allowing the brush strokes to remain visible to create drama in the sky against the black. Watercolor was also used to create some of the lighter shadowing. As always, you can contact me with any comments or questions you might have.

ACEO Winter Scratchboard Drawing

My art for this post is an original miniature ACEO scratchboard artwork titled 'Mountain Winter'. The scratchboard size is 2 1/2 in x 3 1/2 in. It has always fascinated me the way that snow can completely transform a landscape. And where there are heavy snows, like in the mountains, the change is even more dramatic. Landmarks look different or are completely hidden by a blanket of snow. Click on the image to be taken to its webpage for more information and detail images.
