More Background Noise: Paint Scraping






Big thanks to Trish (see previous post), as this technique is very messy and one of my perennial favorites.

Squirt paints (I used a variety of acrylics) directly on paper (here, a mix of cold-press watercolor paper, canvas paper and cardstock), and scrape on and around with an old credit card. In some cases, I did a second scraping or even smooshing of the same colors with a fresh piece of paper.
