reverse drawing on \u201cClaybord Black\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \n In a normal drawing, we bring darkness to light on a white paper, to create an image. On a scratch-board we bring the light to darkness on the black surface. With this technique we can create powerful lighting effects.<\/p>\n Nowadays a product called Claybord is available. This is much more durable than the traditional scratch-board. You can read a short description of Claybord Black in the following Wikipedia link:<\/p>\n \nhttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Claybord<\/p>\n \nI love to work on white Claybord for watercolors and acrylics. The result would be different from working on paper or canvas.<\/p>\n Using a photograph I took in Badrinath as reference, I made the attached drawing on a Claybord Black. This is one of my favourite art works.<\/p>\n \n— R.S.Mani<\/p>\n (Cambridge, Ontario, Canada)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" R.S.Mani reverse drawing on \u201cClaybord Black\u201d This method of drawing is called \u201cscratch-board\u201d technique.
