sodapop - 2014-04-06 12:19 PM Please explain scratchboard. I haven't heard of this. It looks terrific!
Short version......I buy prepared boards which are a white board that has been airbrushed black. Then use x-acto knives & other tools to scrape away the black and create the drawing by revealing the highlights. It's basically the exact opposite of pencil drawings where you draw the dark arenas & leave the highlights. Keeps my brain thinking!

did some of that when I was in high school - so much fun- I took 8 years of art and can't draw or paint worth a dang.... unless it's a wall to be painted. really nice Sara- alway love to see your art work
