This artwork is Scratchboard. The color was filled in after drawing or “scratching” the design on the black thin coating away from the paper. Another technique making a positive and negative value. The subject is one of my favorite creatures in nature, hummingbirds. They are definitely a garden jewel. My many years in rescuing hummingbirds has given me a wonderful and unique opportunity to observe them up close.
There are some great DVD’s about hummingbirds available, “Hooked on Hummingbirds”, “Hummingbird! Beauty and the Beast”, “Mother Hummingbirds Life”. The PBS special, “Hummingbirds – Magic in the Air” is beautiful and informative.
