This is not a drawing or painting but rather scratchboard. The scratchboard panel is a 1/8" thick board coated with a special white clay and a topcoat of black India ink. Using any sharp instrument, I scratch off the ink in various patterns to reveal the white clay and form an image. It is one of the most difficult art mediums because it is unforgiving if one makes a mistake. You can't erase or paint over an error. In this particular piece, I used the edge and corner of a sanding sponge. This gave it a blended tone and texture. I sprayed a light blue wash over it to add a hint of color.
The Siren lures her victims by a song or look. This piece shows the Siren peaking through her fingers, flirting with her next victim.
