I was waiting for a product 😅 Technique only and I like it!

[@lisesheeba4156]

Interesting...i will try it...thanks

[@dorothyatchison1825]

Great vid Julie ..... I use Sgraffito in my watercolour landscapes all the time ...I like to let the first colour dry then apply a second 💕

[@moriahnightingale4240]

So cool, thanks for the tip!

[@tonioliverio6948]

Please show finished paintings with this technique!!!

[@wittgrouprealtors]

I think the circular sgraffito would create a great underpainting for water movement...thanks!

[@suemerritt1679]

That was great. From one border line to another...

[@arlenealennox3136]

That would be neat for stylistic foliage on trees.

[@CynthiaJKress]

Just what I was thinking 😊

[@dar13rell]

Good video but wish you had shown some examples of its usage at the end.

[@juliedavis8957]

I will see what I can do. I have several ones that I have done with this treatment... 😁

Great tip, but I want to see what the air compressor in the background was powering!!!!!? Airbrush?

[@juliedavis8957]

It powers a gigantic shrink wrap machine with a heat tunnel. That is what you are hearing... 😉

I think I accidentally did some sgraffito on a watercolor doodle I was working on one of the first times I was experimenting with a pointed nib dip pen. I was drawing really delicate clean fine lines over a first layer of very light pigment that was completely dried. It was awesome so I figured I would see what cool effect you could make by drawing that same pen over a section of the paper soaked in wet paint. You basically are just cutting the paper at that point. Pointed nib pens are a lot more murderous than they look:)

How do you make it scratch off a white line rather than a dark one?

[@Angie_978]

@@pennyholland7869 I dont know how you could scratch off a light line without using a masking product. The scratches collect more of the pigment, that's why painting over the scratched surface shows darker. Because the scratch has more pigment particles than the smooth flat paper.

[@pennyholland7869]

I'm wondering how you can scratch in a white line rather than a dark one?

[@juliedavis8957]

Hey Penny... I don’t know that you can. The scratch creates like a ditch or a low point which the heavy pigment sinks into. The only way I would know of creating a white line would be with a masking fluid that you then remove when everything is dry... or even a thin gel pen over the finished wash. Those would be possibilities... I think. Thanks for your question. 😀

This is not frottage! Frottage is the technique of creating the image of an object by placing paper over it and rubbing with pencil, charcoal, etc. It's like embossing. What's shown here is lifting, removing part of the medium from the surface. In French, frottage means rubbing!
