Many people can not believe that Cathy Sheeter works of art of exceptional realism animals are creating, scratches with a coating on an ink plate, but exactly how it does. It works with the fantastic paper to draw medium, which in a way helps your creations to life that no other medium can.
This is a unique medium as a subtractive It starts with a plate coated with solid black ink and scratches the ink with sharp tools to reveal a layer of white clay, which is under the ink. The more you scratch, the brighter this area will become so that you create a series of tones. Sometimes it is found with clear ink to produce color images of the scratches.
She has been creating at zero for almost two decades animals, but still finds it exciting when a new piece of work begins to come to life. So, while it may be hard to believe, every hair, dot, and dimple is scratched with your hand - your works there are images! Great actions can take many months to complete, and may even make many hours.
