Saturday, November 18th, 11 am a 4:30 pm, Ann’s Studio in Newcastle, CA
Sometimes called a the art of taking awaya , scratchboard is a medium that allows for amazing detail, but is also surprisingly forgiving and versatile. In this workshop, youa ll learn the basic techniques for working on scratchboard. Knives will be used in class, but any abrasive object can be used to remove the black ink from a board to reveal the white coating beneath. Ink can be added and re-scratched, allowing for softness and a range of tones to enhance the detail.
Ann’s favorite subjects are animals, but students in this workshop will create a drawing of a subject of their own choice. While fur and feathers tend to be easiest for beginners, any subject can be rendered in scratchboard. Ann will work with each student to determine the best ways to tackle the photos they provide.
Open to all levels; new and past students welcome. Supplies included. You must provide your own reference photo(s). Instructions and location map will be sent after registration.
