WIP: Dawn: African Lions. Scratchboard (engraving on Claybord Black), 12 x 9 in, 2007.
Here I am at step four, the etching complete and the board is ready for colour. When I get to this step I frequently find myself putting off colouring the works. But with this one, I had envisioned the finished project in colour – I think aided by the original sketch I did – and will likely have this one finished soon.
About Tania
I'm an artist, specifically a wildlife artist. And how exactly does one know she is an artist, specifically a wildlife artist? Well, only artists get excited about new art supplies, "Mmm, unmarked claybord..." or discovering a new satin sheen spray varnish *sigh* And only a wildlife artist gets distracted during a very serious conversation with her exceptionally supportive spouse by a fledgling sparrow taking it's first shaky flight across the yard.
