Matt,
where do i get this paper and or clay board?
and tools?
thanks,raquel
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.
Will you be doing a course to purchase on Scratchboard as I want this course but do not want total membership…just this one
Teresa
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.
I need to know how to lay it out so that my students will understand 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.
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
