Papa's Boots

I used another pose from my favorite model (my grandson) to see if I could do a portrait in scratchboard.  I knew I’d have to use watercolor to show the contours of his face, but the details in his blue jeans and shoes are all scratchboard technique.  I love the starkness of the totally black background and think it makes the whole picture “pop”.
