#claybord

My space potato being potato-y and space-y. Greyhounds are wonderful beings but certainly not of this earth or dimension. If you own a grey (or any sighthound!) how many legs does yours actually have in the real world and how many are stuck in other versions of reality?

I am still pretty certain that greyhounds are space potatoes with interdimensional legs. Mine certainly is. WIP on claybord.

Gave clayboard a shot again!

Frozen Lake Champlain. Oil on board. 8x10 in. This time, I tried Ampersand claybord with oil. Even though the surface of the claybord didn’t seem absorbent when I was applying gouache and casein to it, with oils it did seem pretty absorbent. The oil paints dried or rather set quickly on this surface which allowed me to apply several layers of paint, using the alla prima technique. Also, the finish of the completed painting is almost completely matte, without the usual shine of wet oil paint, which makes it very easy to photograph the artwork.

Scratchboard and coffee on the sofa - what a great way to start the day!💗 Trying to work less realistic and more whimsical…did I succeed? I hope your morning is just as relaxing and fun💗 #atc sized #scratchboard using #claybord from @ampersand_art and #alcoholmarkers Scratched using my fave knife from @slice #ondragonwingsstudio #scratch #fox #trysomethingnew https://www.instagram.com/p/CgHVvt4LRj3/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
