Let’s get started:
Prepare a flat surface work area with a newspaper and put on
the aprons.
There are two main ways to do Scraper Painting.
One way is to put a blob of paint on a page and move it
around in one solid sweeping move with a scraper. All the time trying not to
lift the scraper off the page until you have run out of paint to spread. Then
do another colour and then another.
The other way is to paint a picture, like a solid blue sky
and then a solid block of green for grass.
Then move your scraper from one side of the page to the other. You can move in zigzag’s or in a up and down
flowing movement.
For the best results try to have one solid movement without
lifting off the page.
Using too many colours will start to get messy.
Allow to dry
TIPS:
-
Thicker paint is
better- You can use anything with a straight edge to scrape with. Experiment and have fun.
