El Gato

Size:  26.5 x 20.5 cm (10.5 x 8 in)
Medium:  Scratchboard
Support:  Claybord
Notes:  Airbrush applied acrylic colors

I wanted to merge my loves of airbrush and scratchboard. When I saw the reference image of this cat, I knew I’d found the right subject.

“Fur-people” are a natural for scratchboard. The ability to represent hair/fur from fine to thick gives scratchboard an advantage over many other mediums. Airbrush provides the ability to render subtle shades of color very quickly and with a thinness that serves scratchboard well. It’s an outstanding marriage when you combine the two.
