Thank you very much for taking to the time and trouble to put this on, Christina. A fascinating insight into a wonderful piece of work!

Martha Yokawonis 08 Mar 2006

very interesting. never thought of scratchboard as a surface for painting. I've always used it primarily as a black and white "etching" kind of thing.

Laura Horning 08 Mar 2006

wow, you are amazingly talented! this is an intense piece. thanks so much for sharing! i will have to try it.

Christina Langman 08 Mar 2006

I'm so excited that I am able to inspire people to try this medium. I hope you all enjoy it! (I suggest starting small... it is a little overwhelming at first!)

I would love for everyone to post their images in the general discussion... maybe as a "I tried the scratchboard and acrylic!" or something? I'd hate to miss your work - so please somehow let me know if you happen to try it, even if you just e-mail me personally! :)

Thanks everyone - and Mi, I don't know about that video - I'll think about it for the next one, ok? :)
