Here is a simple step by step of my scraperboard technique. This is the initial pencil drawing of Gort an Choirce>>

Once I’ve transferred it to a piece of black scraperboard>> I begin scraping out the white areas

More white is gradually revealed……..

Adjustments made, the piece is now finished.

I currently have a small pop up exhibition in The Wine Buff >>

The shop is located on the Triangle in Ranelagh. If you like wine it’s a really great store.

The work will be on display there till January, please call in if you are passing.
