Mastering the Art of Scratchboard

by Norman Gaddini
with Margie Wilson

Master Scratchboard artist Norman Gaddini explains, from start to finish, and in great detail, the Scratchboard techniques he has developed in more than 30 years of painting . . . bringing Scratchboard into the field of fine art.

An excellent and accomplished technician, Mr. Gaddini clearly explains what scratchboard is, how a black-and-white picture is created in scratchboard, the equipment and tools required, how to apply full color, how to mat and frame your finished scratchboard picture . . . and more!

Scratchboard Art is widely utilized in commercial art, especially in the advertising and publishing industries. Students, teachers, professional artists, adventurous amateurs, and Gaddini fans will welcome this instructive manual written in down-to-earth language and generously illustrated.

Well-known and respected as a living treasure in Sonoma County, California, Norman Gaddini is still active and painting at 91 years young. His awards and shows are too numerous to list here, but you can read more here.

This book was co-written with Margie Wilson, professional editor and writer for more than 30 years. Her honors include inclusion in Who’s Who in the West, The Dictionary of International Biography, and selection as one of the “2000 Outstanding Women of the 20th Century” and one of the “2000 Outstanding Scholars of the 20th Century”.
