Ampersand Claybord is very versatile as a way to create linear texture and can be used with inks. watercolor and acrylic paint. These three works started on white claybord and inked solid black with a thin layer of India ink. Then the design was traced on using a graphite paper. This can be made with some effort with your pencil or using graphite powder if you have not purchased graphite paper.
I used an exact, scratchboard tools a linoleum carving knife to carve my lines.
After making the initial drawing carving, then textures and hatch marks can be added as desired. Finally, color can be added with paint, markers and colored pencils as desired.
