I absolutely loved this scenery of the mother Grebe with her chick, I saw at the lake during summer.The black and white stripes of the young and the rippled reflections in the water made a perfect scenery to be captured in Scratchboard technique, which allows me a very detailed work. A Scratchboard is made of a wooden panel covered with a basic clay layer and the surface is stained with black Indian ink. White lines were generated by scratching the surface and the remove of the ink coat.
