If you've not bookmarked my site do so now. SCRATCHART: Scratchboard art consists of three layers; a firm foundation,
a layer of white clay coating the surface of the foundation, and a layer of black ink covering the white clay. As a
base or foundation, a factory prepared masonite board designed specifically for scratchboard art. Images are created by “scratching”with
sharp etching tools such as knives, pins or even fiber glass brushes. Seymour’s etchings reflect both the
typical black and white format as as well the use of colored india ink to enhance particular works. The
completed work is treated with a fixative that protects the surface and allows the etching to be framed without glass.
