Mon 26 Apr 2010 Scratch Board Class - Marg Leslie



Marg Leslie promised and exciting and rewarding scratch board class and she delivered it in good order.
As a reminder, scratch board is a reductive technique wherein a white board is coated with india ink. After the ink is dried images are produced by scratching the black surface to allow the white to show through. the white may be colored with ink, dye, or paint... or left white . the scratching may be done with a sewing needle; razor blade; exacto knife; dental tools; tools especially made for scratch board techniques; a nail; your finger nais or whatever you find works best for you.
Marg provided pictures for reference or the students brought their own. As always in these classes everything was provided... the students only needed to show up for an entertaining and lively learning session.

Once the class got started there was dead silence and intense concentration as you can see in the following fotos:
















Remarkable finished art work in just a couple hours.
