Cowboy Boots, work in progress. Scratchboard, 10 x 8 in. Copyright 2008, Tania Nault.
As you can see, I’ve made some progress with my scratchboard cowboy boots. I’m really pleased with how well this is turning out. Next week when the Agribition is in town I’ll be heading out to get more reference photos with a Western flavour. I think what I’m learning from this piece is that what I really like, no, what I love about this medium isn’t necessarily the subject matter so much as it is the play of light and dark, the illusion of textures and dimension and depth.
