This is my channel concerned with drawing and coloring with its various techniques . I hope you like it

[@patricknorton5788]

Great video. I'm experienced with scratchboard but have only made a few half-hearted attempts to color it. Now I have the proper ink and have seen your video. Next few attempts should go much better.

[@sallymaxwell4905]

Glad to have helped. Make sure you get rid of all the black residue for clean color.

[@djwalsh1874]

[@finearts383]

Very goog. Well done

[@AlexsandraPenna]

Adorei, ainda não encontrei este papel para comprar por aqui

[@vocalchords3609]

Voila!

[@CS-xe5on]

That is GORGEOUS! Are all the paints you use inks? Also, do you paint black over the background in the very end, where your painting has touched it?

[@sallymaxwell4905]

Yes, Ampersand inks and I usually do not need to paint over the ink as it disappears when painted over the black as black is all colors. Once in a while the yellow leaves a residue. Then I paint over it.

[@CS-xe5on]

@@sallymaxwell4905 Thank you!

[@noahsark5279]

Great video thanks. I can’t see the full can of UV spray at the end of the video. Please, what is the full name of the product? I looked on Amazon with the little bit I can read and it didn’t come up. Thanks.

[@sallymaxwell4905]

Lascaux found at Blick. www.dickblick.com/products/lascaux-uv-protect-spray-varnish/ Gloss, matte, satin.

[@Sd3cinema]

Can you do a tutorial of the chalk transfer?

[@sallymaxwell4905]

It is basically the same as the one I used on the Wild Horses for South Lake Tahoe and the Marcus Ashley Gallery KZbin. That particular one was for a drawing on white Claybord but it works for scratchboard as well.

[@JimB73C]

Sally when you say wash at the beginning? What are you using? Water?

[@sallymaxwell4905]

I normally find the base color of the object, as an example, many animals have a pale raw sienna base even on their white. this clears any black residue you may have left when you wiped the cut surface clean. It allows for the other pigments to not have a black cast when you apply them.

[@TheBluelizardman21]

Can you tell me what brand inks you are using? Thanks!!

[@milele7703]

What is the name of the vanish that you use to seal your art pieces. I tried reading it on the video but it wasn't very clear. Thanks.

[@sallymaxwell4905]

Lascaux UV protect.

[@AngelaDibble-qc2ot]

I'm wondering what type of paints you use to add the colour?

[@sallymaxwell4905]

Ampersand inks available as a set of colors or Koh-I-nor inks

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Is India ink the only ink to use on a scratch Board?

[@sallymaxwell4905]

BeatlesFanSonia lots of folks use watercolor, but it stains the clay underneath. Others use different inks, but we developed the Ampersand inks specifically to be used on the scratchboard. We worked for six months on the formula to eliminate the residue on the black surface and prevent staining.

[@BeatlesFanSonia]

Sally Maxwell thank you!

[@nagyart6812]

Thank you ... please what is the kind of colors

[@sallymaxwell4905]

I use the Ampersand Claybord inks that I helped them develop.

[@nagyart6812]

Thank you, you are a great artist

[@patknight12]

Are you using scratchcard ink?

[@sallymaxwell4905]

Yes, I helped Ampersand develop the best ink for use on their boards. No staining of the clay so you can scratch back to white and no residue on the black like most acrylic based inks have.
