It is ART that makes life, makes interest, makes importance,
and I know of no substitute for the FORCE and BEAUTY of its process.
~ Henry James

Scratch Board Art

Scratchboard was a lost art for many years but it is making a comeback. Although scratchboard is no longer a commercial art like it was in the 30s and 40s, it is now considered a fine art. Many oil and acrylic painters have learned to use scratchboard techniques in their paintings. Others are making a living using scratchboard, by doing engravings of animals, flowers and objects. I am not sure how today’s artists learn scratchboard techniques, but if you go on the internet, you will now find artists all over the world who are doing scratchboard art.
