What’s the difference between sgraffito and scratch paint?
Painting Techniques: Sgraffito. Sgraffito on paper works differently to sgraffito on canvas because the layer of paint is (generally) so thin you’re scratching the paper as well as the paint. Where you scratch or indent the surface of the paper, the wet, top paint will collect in it, rather than revealing the white of the paper.
