Sgraffito

Artist statement:

I made a representational sgraffito tile of a house at the bottom of a hill with some trees and the moon. I used the normal scratchboard pencil, I didn’t use the brush at all.

At first I was going to do something abstract with a bunch of random shapes and stuff, but the scratchboard design of that looked bad so I switched to doing something representational.

My artwork would be a lot stronger if it wasn’t broken, and I feel like I should’ve used up more of the tile; because there’s a lot of empty space.
