Media: Scratchboard 3.5" x 2.5" Oil pastel, India ink reverse scratch art
Size: 3.5x2.5 in
This ACEO is a little different. I call it reverse scratch art because the ink is UNDER the oil pastels. Instead of scratching off the ink, the oil pastels were scratched, exposing the black of the ink to form the details of the skull. A fellow artist demonstrated this technique at our art association's last meeting. 'Horse Skull' is the result of my experimentation with this technique. This ACEO is a little different.
