RAY CHARLES 8 by 10 Scratchboard Art

Description

Ray Charles, Scratchboard Art Print
Signed 8x10 fine art print from the original scratchboard art.

Scratchboard is a unique art medium which produces pictures of amazing realism, incredible detail, or fascinating contrast. It is "The art of taking away" as you start with a black surface and scratch off to show the white underneath.

SCRATCH BOARD ART (also called scratchart and claybord art):
This stunning medium is very overlooked in the art world. It is a labor and time intensive process of engraving that achieves rich texture and detail making it an ideal medium for wildlife art. A stiff art board or masonite board is sprayed with a thin coat of white Kaolin pottery clay which is over sprayed with black India ink. Using very sharp needle like tools the artist layers many hundreds of thousands of tiny marks etched through the ink to reveal the white clay to construct the image. There is little room for error as this is a most unforgiving medium requiring the ability to plan ahead, have an understanding of light and shadow and possess an abundance of patience.
