SCRATCBOARD ART: 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 scratchboard art reflects 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.
