  Scratch Board Title  

     All original scratch boards are black and white.  Prints of the originals are hand colored by me, using Prisma colored pencils.

     Using a professional grade scratch board 11''X14'' inkless.  I tape the scratch board evenly around all sides to a drawing board.  Then using a soft # 6 brush, I carefully brush india ink in straight strokes clear across the scratch board.  I try to keep each brush stroke even and not over lapping.  This will give you an even coat that will not chip.

     The subject I am going  to scratch is first drawn on news print paper then I rub the back of the drawing with an ebony pencil, this gives me a graphite transfer. The drawing is then traced onto the scratch board leaving a silver line on the black surface which you can follow while scratching.  I use a #4 exacto knife and some times a sewing straight pin.

     After the image is completed paint a second coat of ink in the black areas this will give the work a very finished look.

     The scratchboard art prints below are 10" x 12".  They will come in envelopes.  The 10" x 12"  prints are suitable for framing and are available for $10.00 each.  I also offer note cards 4" x 5 1/2" for $3.50.  All funds are in US Dollars, shipping is calculated at check out.   Note as well, that the payments are made with a secure service from PayPal.   You may order conveniently by clicking on the Pay Pal buttons provided.
