Beth krommes scratch board

I fell in love with the scratchboard illustrations created by Beth Krommes while researching children illustrators for the Storybook Wonders camp.

What I really loved about her technique was the fact that she creates copies of the scratchboard that she then goes in and hand colors.

This was my plan for the project I created with the kids during the camp.

Each would create a scratchboard and then I would make copies of them overnight on card stock for them to hand color the next day.

Well, so much for plans.

We ran out of time on the last day of camp, but each child did create a stunning scratchboard.

I'll retry this project again in full for a Halloween inspired project with the October after school elementary class, only three spots left if you want your child to join in the fun!!
