It includes steel wool, a line tool, two knives, and a wire brush, enabling artists to achieve precise, high-contrast scratchboard and engraving-style artwork on a premium, ultra-smooth black clay surface built on a warp-resistant Hardbord core. Ideal for detailed subtractive drawing and mixed media techniques, this kit supports repeated mark-making and fine rescratching, making it a must-have for serious illustrators and realism artists. ## Description Scratchbord is the professional scratchboard surface trusted by award-winning illustrators, wildlife artists, and realism artists worldwide. Built on Ampersand’s premium Hardbord protected with Archiva-Seal and coated with an ultra-smooth kaolin clay ground and rich black India ink, it delivers unmatched precision for subtractive drawing, engraving-style illustration, sgraffito, and high-contrast artwork. Scratch through the black surface to reveal the white clay beneath, creating detail and tonal depth impossible to achieve on canvas, black canvas boards, black painting panels, or painted black wood panels. Unlike traditional art canvases or generic black art boards, Scratchbord is engineered specifically for scratchboard drawing and produces clean, controlled marks for hyper-realistic fur, feathers, portraiture, and black-and-white realism. Built on a rigid, warp-resistant Hardbord core, it stays perfectly flat—never tearing, bending, buckling, or wrinkling like paper scratchboards or thin craft scratch surfaces. The clay-and-ink coating allows repeated mark-making, fine rescratching, and controlled shading using scratch knives, scalpels, tattoo needles, Slice craft knives, wire brushes, fiber brushes, and oil-free steel wool (tools sold separately). Artists can also incorporate ink, airbrush, collage, and mixed media, making Scratchbord a more versatile option than standard black canvases or MDF art boards. For vibrant color work, transparent Scratchbord/Claybord Inks (sold separately) add rich, vivid tones that remain luminous on the white clay. Highlights can be rescratched for contrast, and unwanted marks can be repaired using black India ink or Ampersand Black Repair Ink—giving artists full creative control without fear of mistakes. When artwork is complete, simply seal the panel with a spray varnish and frame it without glass. Ampersand Floaterframes and Duoframes offer a clean, glare-free, gallery-style presentation that showcases every etched detail. Scratchbord reflects over 30 years of Ampersand’s dedication to museum-quality painting and drawing surfaces. Whether you’re a professional scratchboard artist or searching for a premium black drawing surface, black scratchboard panel, black art board, or black engraving panel, Scratchbord offers the most responsive, archival, and detail-focused surface available today. Handcrafted in the USA using FSC-certified materials. For beginners exploring scratchboard art, Ampersand also offers Scratchbord Kits that include a Scratchbord panel, tool, pattern, and instructions (sold separately) ## Features - Includes a piece of steel wool- a line tool- a set of 2 knives- a wire brush- - Work with Claybord or Scratchbord panels ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000IG2OXC | | Art Craft Kit Type | drawing | | Best Sellers Rank | #144,389 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #142 in Artists Drawing Sets | | Brand Name | Ampersand Art Supply | | Color | White | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (165) | | Item Dimensions | 8.7 x 5.8 x 1 inches | | Item Highlight | Professional Scratchboard Art Panel with Clay & India Ink Surface | For Scratchboard Drawing, Illustration & Mixed Media | | Item Type Name | Artist Tool Kit for Painting & Drawing | | Item Weight | 4 ounces | | Manufacturer | Ampersand | | Manufacturer Part Number | AMPTOOL1 | | Material Type | Steel Wool | | Model Name | Scratchbord | | Model Number | AMPTOOL1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 5 | | Product Style | Traditional | | Set Name | Scratchbord Tool Kit | | Size | 1-Pack | | UPC | 707310500410 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ampersand Art Supply - **Color:** White - **Item Weight:** 4 ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 8.7 x 5.8 x 1 inches - **Material:** Steel Wool ## Images ![Ampersand Art Supply Scratchbord Artist Tool Kit for Painting & Drawing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61n55fdr4NL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - Ampersand Art Supply Scratchbord Artist Tool Kit for Painting & Drawing - Ampersand Art Supply Scratch Art Panel: Museum Series Scratchbord, 1/8 Inch Flat Profile, 5" x 7" - Pack of 3 - Ampersand Art Supply Scratchbord 6 Color Ink Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/4707030-ampersand-art-supply-scratchbord-artist-tool-kit-for-painting-drawing](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/4707030-ampersand-art-supply-scratchbord-artist-tool-kit-for-painting-drawing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-11-06*
