Looking for PRODUCTS USED in this video? Click "SHOW MORE" below! I am always looking for more ways to add pattern and texture to my gel prints. Sgraffito is a decorative technique that involves scratching through a surface coating to reveal a contrasting color underneath. The word comes from the Italian word graffito, which means "to scratch". In this video I will show you how to scratch through the surface of paint on your gel plate, add a repeating pattern into the negative spaces, and how to pull the print with a contrasting color which will ultimately be underneath! This technique of sgraffito is often used on pottery, I have many pieces like this in my collection and that inspired me to try it on my gel plate! ❤️ SUPPORT THE ARTIST MAKE A ONE TIME DONATION– https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/PaperPaintings ⭐️ SUPPLIES–SUPPORT A SMALL WOMAN OWNED BUSINESS– FIDDLY FERNS STENCIL: https://www.joggles.com/stencils/joggles-elizabeth-st-hilaire-stencils-and-masks/joggles-elizabeth-st-hilaire-stencil-fiddly-ferns-57562.htm STYLUS TOOLS: https://joggl.es/VCpSGxiw NEW 9X12 GEL PLATE: https://shrsl.com/3vcn7 REPEATING FOAM STAMPS: https://joggl.es/VCpSGxiw MY PRODUCT DESIGNS: MY Stencil Designs: https://bit.ly/3JSI2cB My Foam Stamp Designs: https://bit.ly/3vvJDzZ My Rice Paper Designs: https://joggl.es/mDzvTghm SHEET MUSIC AND GEL PRINTED PAPER PACKS: My Website Shop: https://www.paperpaintings.com/shop/paper GEL PRINTING: NEW 9X12 GEL PLATE: https://shrsl.com/3vcn7 All Size Gel Plates: https://shrsl.com/3vcn7 Speedball 4-inch Baren: http://shrsl.com/4c52r Speedball 6-inch Brayer: https://shrsl.com/3cm7i Speedball 2-inch Brayer: https://shrsl.com/3ll3q Speedball 1.5-inch Brayer: https://shrsl.com/4f7rd Gel Plate Storage Tin: https://shrsl.com/3dffv PAPER: 9x12 BEST Rice Paper Pad: https://shrsl.com/3c7o8 COLLAGE APPLICATION: Liquitex Gloss Gel Medium: https://shrsl.com/3yffu Golden Soft Gel Gloss Medium: https://amzn.to/3uD3W20 Princeton Catalyst Glue Brush: https://shrsl.com/3yffo PAINTING: Princeton Velvetouch Paint Brush Set: https://shrsl.com/3yffs Amsterdam Acrylics: https://shrsl.com/3s9o4 SPRAYS: Dylusions Ink Spray: https://shrsl.com/41n25 Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Sprays http://shrsl.com/3sbyq Tim Holtz Holiday Mica Stains: https://shrsl.com/43wt4 Cosmic Shimmer Botanical Sprays: http://shrsl.com/4dr5i STUDIO SUPPLIES: Nonstick Table Covering: http://shrsl.com/23tux ⭐️ SUPPLIES –AMAZON – Golden Fluid Acrylic Paints: https://amzn.to/3OOQJKj My Tutorial Books: https://amzn.to/3L6hmXo ?
