Description
Ruby is an original scratchboard with colorful layers of ink and iridescent watercolor by Lindsey Kiser. Is there anything more delightful than a flower garden visited by a growing population of ruby-throated hummingbirds? What brings your heart gladness? What sparks joy? For the artist, hummingbirds are intriguing for their behavior, their physicality, their Top Gun fighter pilot skills, and their iridescent colors. I
Lindsey says, “Hummingbirds are a favorite subject of mine for their graceful lines, gorgeous colors, and exquisite feathers that are so fun to capture in scratchboard.”
THE ARTISTIC PROCESS
Lindsey used multiple reference photos to create the balance you see in this composition. The scratchboard was scratched with a sharpened sewing needle held in a pen vice to reveal the white clay under the black layer. Next, she applied colorful inks and iridescent watercolor to the white scratches. Then she scratched the colorful layers again and repeated the process until she was happy with the result. Finally, a clear coat of varnish protects the artwork.
