Scratchboard


Scratchboard is an art technique where you have a surface with white or a color underneath a layer of black paint which you scratch away with a sharp tool to create an image. Sgraffito is a technique where you apply layers of plaster in contrasting colors to a surface and scratch it away. Both of these techniques involve scratching away the top layer, and specifically scratching the highlights, leaving the shadows as the solid black.
