Medium
Painting - Clayboard Engraving
Description
This is a Clayboard Engraving of a Red Fox on an 12 x 9 Clayboard.
Clayboard Engraving is very labor intense. First you draw what you would like to be your clayboard piece to look like. Then tranfer it over to a piece of clayboard. Thats when the fun starts, I like to use a saddle needle to scrape off the black material from the clay board.......but you have to think backwards from your pencil piece. What you want dark you leave, not fill in. What you want light you mark,not ignore. So after scratching the clayboard like a chicken for days you are done. Well maybe not because you can leave it black and white or color it with different mediums.This image I colored in with watercolor, about 10 light coats of 6 different colors and mixtures of. It is all in the eye of the beholder if they like this colored inage or the black and white image ,that you can find on this site and in the Clayboard Gallery. Thank you
