Description

This is a highly detailed, hand-drawn, original scratchboard by international award-winning, Master Scratchboard Artist, Cathy Sheeter.

Scratchboard is a unique art form where dark ink (black or color) is removed to reveal a layer of white clay hidden beneath.  Values and textures are achieved by scratching away the ink and revealing more of the white clay.  Works can be black and white or colored with transparent India inks.  Some of Cathy’s tools include x-acto knifes, sandpaper, fiberglass brushes, and tattoo needles to carefully remove the ink.  Every hair, dot and dimple is, amazingly, created just with scratches!

All of Cathy’s works are completed with the highest quality professional materials and the works are sprayed with multiple coats of UV resistant varnish when completed, so can be safely hung on the wall without glass.  A most unique art form, sure to be a stand-out in your home or business!
