Information

This is an original one of a kind scratchboard artwork. The scratchboard panel is a 1/8" thick board coated with a special white clay and a topcoat of black India ink. Normally I use a scalpel to scratch off the ink in various patterns to expose patterns and tones of white clay to create the image. This time I used the corner and edge of a few different grit sanding sponges. This is what gave the piece a very soft look. I kept it in black and white to highlight the textures from the sandpaper. This European-origin 19th century medium is one of the most difficult art mediums because it is unforgiving if one makes a mistake. One cannot erase or paint over an error.

The Royal Bengal Tiger is the national animal of India. It is endangered with less than 4000 remaining in the wild. They are very large and can grow up to 10.5 feet long and weigh 650 pounds. They're known to eat up to 88 pounds of meat in one sitting.
