Scratchbord is a clay coated hardboard panel for scratchboard that is coated with India ink. Comparable to traditional paper scratchboard, except better – it’s more durable and easier to scratch into for cleaner and crisper details and lines. For added dimension, colored inks can be added to the white areas and then scratched again for additional highlights and volume. Artwork can be sprayed with spray fixative like Krylon® UV Resistant Clear Coatings or Lascaux Fixativ, allowing the finished scratchboard to be framed without glass!

Customer Reviews
Scratchboard makes stunning and unique pieces of art.
The level of detail one can achieve on these boards makes them a staple of my commission works. I use inks to colour my work, but they also take water colour quite well.
Began scratchboard art with paper backed sheets but now use Ampersand boards exclusively. They are easy to work with using both knives and nibs, and fibreglass brushes. And they can be coloured using a variety of products including inks, inktense pencils, acrylic paint and watercolour.
