New medium

I'm trying out this new scratchboard technique I heard of.  There's no India ink on the clay, so you have to put the colors on yourself. Once you block out the main colors you start scratching to add detail.  It works pretty good with fur on animals.  Then when you have some detail you can lay down some more paint.  After a while there is the development of layers as you build up the pigment and some of the scratches get colored.

Just paint on clayboard
