LANDSCAPE NO.1

Minimal "landscape" carved into and painted on a surface of Golden coarse modeling paste and fiber paste. More Higgins and FW inks used for the color.

CIRCUS

Here is another heavily worked aquabord surface. This clown figure wears strange pants, does a balancing trick, and performs some magic.

INCISE

This was a practice in carving into the Aquabord (yes, that's how the nice people at Ampersand spell it.) This is a simple little scratchboard-like technique that's very effective.

MORE MORE MORE

I recently bought a couple Aquabord clay panels from Ampersand. These things are great! I can put down layer upon layer of interesting underpainting tones and not worry about the surface buckling.
