### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    All aspects of scratchboard art touched on.
  

*by L***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2013*

I am a member of Wet Canvas and have been studying the Scratchboard Art forum, which is helpful but I found this book went above and beyond just basic scratching on a black board (although that is covered as well).  There are other types of scratchboard art that achieve some of the effects I desire, such as under-painting on clayboard and how to color your basic black scratchboard.  Diana Lee generously shares several of these methods, which I believe will save me years of effort not to mention the cost of the supplies by not having to "learn the hard way" myself.There are a few things I still have questions about, such as how to apply the India ink smoothly over clayboard (maybe it's quite easy!) but I think I could probably go to the helpful people on the Wet Canvas scratchboard forum and get any further questions answered.  Since Diana Lee answered questions I didn't even know I had, so I am more than happy with this purchase!

    Excellent primer on learning Scratchboard and advanced techniques.
  

*by J***P on Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2013*

It is a very detailed book on both beginning and advanced techniques of Scratchboard from one of the Masters in the art. I had the distinct pleasure of meeting Diana at the Wynn Casino this summer at an art show of great artists from all over the world. All mediums were represented. Diana Lee and Sally Maxwell were both invited to represent the Scratchboard medium. They are both masters in the International Society of Scratchboard Artists, yet generous enough to give tips to a beginning Scratchboard artist like myself. Thank You, Diana and I keep your book on my work table for tips as I scratch.

    Excellent Tutorial with Great Examples
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2013*

Diana Lee is an excellent writer and teacher and a superior scratchboard artist. The illustrations in this well designed book are not the photo-reduced kind (those almost always look better) but printed in original or near-original size to best show the "maker's marks."  If you hold Lee's images out to arm's length, you'll see them as they might appear in a gallery.  But looking at them closely will serve you best if you aspire to making scratchboards of your own.  Lee is dedicated to teaching scratchboard as a fine art, and this beautiful book shows that dedication.  Highly recommended.
