“Art speaks through every medium.”

Scratchboard: Revealing Light Hidden in Darkness.

Scratchboard transforms a simple black surface into a living canvas of depth, detail, and light. With each stroke, hidden textures are revealed, shapes begin to breathe, and the image slowly awakens before your eyes. The process is both powerful and meditative—inviting you to lose yourself in the rhythm of creation, where patience and presence turn darkness into beauty. More than a technique, it is a journey into discovery, an art that uncovers what was always waiting beneath the surface.

Testimonials

  • Clara Botero- ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    A Class That Inspires the Whole Family.

    I take Ana’s Fundamentals of Drawing with my four kids (ages 7, 8, 13, and 15), and it has been amazing. Ana connects beautifully with every age—she is patient, loving, and always knows how to lift us up when we feel discouraged. We’ve not only learned to draw, but we’ve gained confidence and joy in the process.

  • Tania ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Yes it was. From beginning to end I learned the skill and equipment needed to become proficient for this wonderful type of art.

  • Michael ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Excellent execution of various scratching techniques! Definitely helpful in understanding the process of going from dark to light to lighter
