The Seer

About this artwork

Seers have also been shown to have visions on will, have prophecies, share visions with one another, and have an even stronger intuition. They know and feel what is going to happening or what is happening instead of having to actually see it. Seers are very rare and extremely formidable due to their omniscient powers. The scratchboard technique is a two-dimensional subtractive process. It involves the use of abrasive tools to directly remove a surface layer of one value (typically dark) to expose a second layer (typically white). The values within the artwork are predominantly achieved by varying the amount of surface layer that has been scratched away or left. The texture and form of all key compositional elements within the artwork must be created by subtractive removal, not exclusively by the addition of paint or ink. Reapplying transparent mediums over the scratching is permissible, but the underlying scratches must remain visible. Works may be color or black and white.
