Jacquelin Vanderwood  September 15, 2003 1 Let's go back to kindergarten when we created scratchboard art from scratch. It's easy and fun. Begin by filling the first layer with a rainbow gradient. 2 Add a new layer and fill it with black.   3 Now select Erasers and choose Pointed Eraser 7. Remember, the [ and the ] increase and decrease the size of any and all brush tools.   4 Using Straight Line strokes and a brush size of 1.8, map the outline of a vase.   5 With a brush size of 3.1, erase areas of the neck of the vase.   6 Change the eraser attributes to the specs below.   7 Follow the procedure as shown below for the body of the vase.   8 Beginning with the specs below, trace the shape of the vase.   9 Change the eraser again.   10 Create the lined effects below.   11 Using the same eraser settings as above, create some more lines in the rest of the vase.   12 With an eraser size of 1.9, place in some stems.   13 Increase the eraser size to 29.9. Add tops to the stems.   14 Reduce the brush to 1.8 and opacity to 13%. Add the flower detail.   15 Continuing with the same settings add design to each side of the artwork.   16 Change to the Rectangle Eraser 20 and add some more effects in the background.   17 Open the Brush Creator and change the Dab Type to Static Bristle. Make sure Clone Color on the color wheel is checked. Add texture to the flower.   18 Now do a Drop and Select, then apply a feather of 3.0. Apply Express Texture with the settings below.   19 Invert. Apply Marbling then Fade at 76%. We're finished.   Copyright 2003, Jacquelin Vanderwood, All Rights Reserved
