American painter Cathy Sheeter works in an amazing Scratchboard environment, which brings pets and wildlife into surrealistic ways that no other means can do.

Scratchboard is a new technique that artists use knives or other tools to engrave on a white Chinese clay sheet. This clay sheet is thin and covered with Indian black ink. In addition, Scratchboard can do with many different colored clay, but this requires artists to put more pressure on the tools and have higher techniques.

Each of the smallest lines is portrayed by female artist Cathy Sheeter. After she completed the black and white version, she began to color. Cathy Sheeter uses a number of engraving tools including pruning knives, sandpaper, glass fiber brushes, and even tattoo needles. These tools are very neat to sharpen, especially when drawing small details like feathers.

The more you brush, the brighter the spot. That is how Cathy creates the dark light for her drawings. After more than 20 years of pursuit, but the painter Cathy Sheeter has always devoted her love to the carving art and her spiritual children. Small works often take hours to refine, while large works sometimes take months to complete.

Cathy Sheeter said, with this material, she can sketch every little detail, thereby making the character's charisma.Invite you to admire the art of sculpture of the goddess living like this in this article!

In this work, Cathy scratches her way, sometimes looking through the drawing board. After scratching completely with black and white colors covered with transparent ink with a palm tree. Scratched inks do not affect the black in the back.
