White Stork of Andalucia

Artist

Nathan Cole

Description

A Quill on Scratchboard portrait of a White Stork, referenced from a bird photographed in Andalucia, Spain, during the arte ventura artist residency. The portrait is created by hand, using a metal quill to scratch away the black-inked surface to reveal the white porcelain layer underneath. The surface is not for printmaking but is instead the final work. The surface is not marked up in any way to begin; instead, the artist picks a focal point and builds out from there.
