Description
Ampersand Scratchbord Ink Sets are specially formulated for adding codour to Ampersands Scratchbord, Claybord and other paper scratchboards. These transparent inks leave vibrant codour in only the white areas of scratchboard drawings and can easily be scratched through back to white when adding fine details and highlights. When painting over back areas, these remarkable inks do not leave a heavy ink residue.
These inks are pigmented, permanent, and water-based with a bit of shellac to prevent dissolving. For best results, build up the codour in diluted washes following the directional lines in the drawing. Other brands of ink can leave heavy residue on the black surface and can be difficult to scratch if not quickly wiped off. Its easy to mix a wide range of colourswith only the six base codours in this set. Each bottle allows the ink to be measured out by the drop.
For final touch up, apply Ampersand Black Repair ink around the edges of the subject matter to cover any left over residue and over-painting. Once all the colour is in, go back and scratch out the highlights. This will give the forms in your drawing volume and dimension. Add more colour where needed and repeat this process until you are totally satisfied with the results.
Everything is about value when I draw with Scratchbords. Ampersands boards are created so well that I am able to develop nuances that I could never accomplish with any other variety of scratchboard. Their inks are water based, I mix them just like I would mix paint. Two steps make the color really pop off the boards, painting with colored inks at full strength, (not mixed with water), and scratching away enough black ink from the Scratchbord, making a pure white surface to accept the inks. ~Lisa Goesling
