I've been experimenting more with scratchboard lately and just finished a more challenging composition. I used a linocut tool again, which meant hours of carving and a sore neck and hands by the end of it. For my next piece — a moth composition — I finally ordered the proper scratchboard tools from Dick Blick. (Much easier. I’ll share more about that in a separate post.)

Working in Scratchboard for an Art Exhibit Submission
I love the rich black and white of scratchboard, so I wanted to try it again for an upcoming art exhibition submission.
I’m still winging it (no pun intended), but I enjoy the process and the look of the medium.
I haven’t been accepted yet, but if I am, I’ll post more details about the show. Stay tuned!
