Join local Central Victorian Artist Linda Newton in this two and a half-hour etching class working with artist-grade Scraperboard and specialist tools to learn to turn scratches into artwork by working in the negative space.
Linda is known for her quirky yet incredibly detailed paintings, drawings, and Scraperboard artworks, and in this intensive workshop, she will show you how she creates her nature-inspired line art using Scraperboard, also known as Scratchboard.
From teaching you about the different types and quality of Scraperboard (we are not using the thin black paint over crayon from our primary school days), to different techniques to make marks and how to see the negative space of an image. This workshop will cover it all.
