    • Hi Raquel,

      You can pick up the scratchboard paper at any art store as well as clay board, if you prefer it. I ordered mine through Amazon – the tools as well.

    • Hi Teresa,

      Maybe. Scratchboard is fairly straight forward though. Once you know the process and how to make marks, there’s not much more to it.

    • Hi Lisa,
      I’m not sure what you are asking. In this example, the photo is placed over the scratchboard and transferred with a ball point pen using pressure. The grooves made by the pen serve as the guidelines for the scratching.

  4. Beautiful work here Matt! Thanks so much for this practice session. I have seen work by a scratch board artist who also uses color in his work. He does really well also. You have me excited to get the materials to get started scratching. 🙂
    Thanks again,
    Marie
