SCRATCHBOARD ART
by
CATHY SHEETER
G'day folks,
Some people have so much talent. Here is one of them.
Hyper-realistic art is incredibly impressive. And American artist Cathy
Sheeter sets the bar high with her artwork, in which she creates realistic
scratch drawings on ink coated boards. Scratchboard is a unique medium.
Discover more about how this form of art is done and see Cathy's mesmerizing
work below.
Cathy works in the medium of Scratchboard. It helps bring her animals and
wildlife to life in a hyper-realistic way that no other medium can.
It is hard to believe that Cathy's realistic animal artwork is created just
from scratches into an ink coated board, but that's exactly how each work is
drawn.
Scratchboard starts with a solid black ink coated board. The ink is then
scratched away with sharp tools to reveal a layer of white clay that is beneath
the ink. The more you scratch into the surface the lighter that area will
become. This enables Cathy to create a range of tones. Some of the tools she uses include a xacto knife, sandpaper, tattoo needles and
fiberglass brushes.
Check out her stunning work below.
