Scratchboard is a drawing technique done on a board coated with white kaolin clay. I use Ampersand Claybord. The clay then has a layer of ink applied. A variety of styluses are used to scratch through the ink revealing the white clay beneath. This results in a white line. Colored inks are applied as a new layer and scratched again. Some of the work has as many as six layers.
