Dang. I wish I had $700 for that Arctic tern. 🙁
How does the ink on scratchboard medium work? Is it ink on a white board that is then scratched off or is it all black to begin with?
Hi Rawlings, I’ve just put up a new post about my scratchboard technique that should answer your questions: https://www.sibleyguides.com/2011/02/ink-on-scratchboard-technique/
a good place to go to pient birds is at the biodome in montreal,Canada
Your gouache paintings have a very solid look to them. What kind of gouache paint do you use?
I use the readily available Windsor & Newton Designer’s Gouache, nothing fancy. My technique involves layers of translucent color, and I often apply these layers with cross-hatching using a dry brush to build up the subtle shadings and transitions of color. The cross-hatching style also works well to develop the texture of feathers if I’m working on a more detailed view.
Hi, I just purchased a drawing of a spaniel from a charity shop for my son for Christmas, I fell in love with it at once, it has a signature “M J Sibley, with a copy right sign in the bottom of the j, would this be an original and if so, what would it be worth in value, he has spaniels and will love this, it is just nice to know, Hazel
Sir, I have a pencil drawling of a Pekingese dog. The signature on it is M.J.Sibley. Would you know who he/she is? I bought it in Crossville Tennessee. I just love the picture. The funny thing about this is – the day I bought it was the very same day I put a down payment on two female Pekingese pups that were only 5 days old. Thank you.
