I love it. And I'm thinking I read that he painted it so his brother Theo would be comfortable at Arles.Jackie Briggs Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11600355884645018088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303151140016717831.post-25456788247589416362012-04-04T09:53:31.251-07:002012-04-04T09:53:31.251-07:00Hi Julie!

A delayed response here- I'm dipping in and out of studio-land as spring gardening and family events are in full competition right now.<br /><br />Sorry about my non-existant scratchboard tutorial button. I planned it with good intentions! I just need one of my family members to film me while I scratch and chat! I'll let you know when it gets done- it's actually on my list to do soon, before I go to a conference in a couple weeks. <br /><br />As far as technique, it's all self-taught from observation. I look at a lot of wood-engravers and print-makers for ideas on marks and finishes (one of your country-women, Clare Leighton {deceased, I believe}, is a big favorite), to make my pieces look more wood-cut like. Let me know when you try it!Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052488335133029707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303151140016717831.post-31886295282262067772012-03-31T13:07:29.493-07:002012-03-31T13:07:29.493-07:00I absolutely love your new banner heading Claudia,...I absolutely love your new banner heading Claudia, like the post as well. I keep trying to click on the scratch board link thing at the side, but nothing happens? I got myself 2 of the dark derwent art bars, to try the scratching technique with them?? Every time I look at your blog I feel the urge to try this technique, but you do it so well, I'm sure there's a way of thinking goes into it? Keep up the lovely work!Julie Clay Illustrationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08921769068494507312noreply@blogger.com
