“Flowing”: Nelson’s Mixed Media Scratchboard Captures Oceanic Grace

Robert Lyn Nelson’s “Flowing” is a scraffito scratchboard etching, enhanced with delicate acrylic washes. 

The artwork depicts a green sea turtle in its underwater habitat, radiating an ethereal luminescence against the stark black background. The artist’s meticulous etching technique creates intricate textures on the turtle’s shell and skin, capturing the play of light and shadow on its form. Air bubbles rise towards the surface, adding a sense of movement and depth. A small butterflyfish and a vibrant coral formation complete the composition, showcasing the rich biodiversity of the ocean environment. 

Nelson’s mastery of the medium allows him to create a piece that is both realistic and dreamlike, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the tranquility of the underwater world.
