An introduction to using sgraffito as a part of your painting practice. Sgraffito is a technique used across many disciplines that relies on layers and removing material to create an image or design. You will need to work quickly to remove the paint whilst it is still wet!
You will need: Materials: cardboard or hardboard. Postcard. Acrylic paint. Scratching/Sgraffito tools: a fork, bendy hard plastic, other end of a brush, anything with an edge or point.
Things to work from: Anything you like. Patterns, photo, improvisation, play.
