WIP: Catch Up! Mallard Ducklings. Scratchboard (etching on Claybord Black), 11 x 4.5 in. Copyright 2007, Tania Nault.
I’ve got added a few reeds in the background, some duckweed on the surface of the water and I’ve given them legs. I also lightened the ducklings and the leaves because I’ve decided to colour this one. Although, before I get too far ahead of myself, I’ve want to add more reeds to the background. Oh, and I think I’m going to change the duckling on the right a bit and make him look like he’s quacking to the duck on the left.
Usually, the thought of changing something on a board mid-stream makes me nervous, but this time, nada. I’m not entirely sure why, maybe it’s because I just started this one as a bit of a lark, but I’m having fun just letting it evolve on its own time.
