My scratchboard was another project that I liked, I really like the way grasses and prairies look and I really feel like they show a lot of movement. The idea of scratching to reveal white/silver is really cool and reminds me of my childhood when I would scratch a black board to reveal a rainbow color in the back. This was a lot harder. It was a lot like pen and ink in the sense that you cannot remove what you put down, this was hard because I was so used to pencil where I can erase everything that I put on the paper. During our class critic it was pointed out that I should've added more vibrant whites and more highlights, I agree. If I would do this again I would have some fawns (things on the top) that were super zoomed in and large and very white. Overall I liked scratchboard and I would love to have done more with it.
