SCRAPERBOARD

This is for Ann-Marie and anyone else interested in scaperboard.

As you may recall, I  offered to bring some examples in on the last week of term. Unfortunately, what with moving house etc, I had not unpacked the examples in time for the last class. In fact, I have only just found them. For anyone interested, here are some scraperboard examples form the late 80's and early 90's. Not very proficient but they they were approved and I got paid.

Continuing from, April - May 2016 - part 2,

 here are some works by the artists  that were discussed  during class.

I will list  a collection here and  more  in the next post so that it is not too overwhelming to  go through.

Rather than attempt to enlighten you with my own limited knowledge, I will post links  to other more knowledgeable and fun  sources.
