This video shows how I handled the wire and how I operated it in order to create the scratched marks into the black paint. The scratching sound could sometimes be unpleasant so I had my earphones in and music playing whilst making this piece.

Tuesday 12th September

We were given some new images to experiment with. Today I decided I would experiment by layering several coats of a material on top of itself to see if overlaying would cause the medium to change properties. 

I stretched my cartridge paper so that it would dry flat, and painted three layers of black acrylic paint on top. Once dry, I used a strand of metal wire to scratch into the surface. The overall effect is very similar to that of a graphite pencil. Reflecting on this work, I think it would have been better if I had painted the second layer in a colour other than black so that when I scratched away into the paint, it would have revealed the colour underneath. I will revisit this piece at a later date.

Furthermore, I layered PVA onto my monoprinted piece, only applying PVA to the more portrait rectangular shapes. I was hoping the PVA would eventually start to bulk up and would become raised from the paper, however after six layers I was seeing no noticeable difference and therefore decided to suspend this experiment.
