Thank you Mireille for your nice comments. I do appreciate them. I scratched the leopards portrait and then applied a lite watercolor wash, once dried I scratched again and rewashed. This I did four times to achieve the results I wanted. Multi scratch and washes achieve a certain 3D effect on the original work. Chuck :) xx
Hi Mireille, thank you for the kind comment. You are a very talented lady, and your picture shows a very young and attractive lady, also. I started scratch art blind, no idea and no help. Let me know when you are going to give it a try and I will give you a few pointers and so comments that might help. Just a note I did 24 commissioned pet portraits last year.. Something that helps keep my hobby cost free! My e-mail address is watersystems@yahoo.com if you want more info.. Oh yes, posting a new scratch piece in a couple minutes... Chuck :) xx
Hello Mireille, thank you for your very nice comment on "Lucky", I'm pleased with him also. I started painting when I turned 70 yrs old and retired. Had time and my daughter suggested that I take up painting since I liked to doodle. I tried acrylics and oils, then found watercolors and was hooked. So I've been doing w/c's for 7 yrs.. in Nov of 2014 I started to do scratch art and really like it. You use hard board, (masonite with white clay on it and then sprayed with india ink) I use an E-acto #11 knife to scratch and watercolors to color. Really great medium for our furry friends. Especially good for great details. Tks again, Chuck :) XX
