CD-ROM to Art! (Part 1) - Intaglio Printmaking - AND Scratch Art 🙌

This process is meant for dry point intaglio printmaking using a CD-ROM (CD, DVD) but should work on other shiny scratchable material. —-AND!!! This process may ALSO be used to create scratch art that will not be printed!!!

The dilemma you face with a super shiny surface is being able to see what you are doing. To solve this we will paint the surface before scratching. See the following suggestions for paint choices according to the method you desire to use:

⭐️FOR DRY POINT INTAGLIO PRINTMAKING:
You MUST use washable paint (such as tempera paint) if you desire to print the disc or reveal the shiny surface. ***If you accidentally use a paint such as acrylic which does NOT wash off, you can try a cleaner such as L.A. Awesome or isopropyl alcohol and it may work to remove the paint.

⭐️FOR SCRATCH ART:
Use TEMPERA paint if you want to reveal the shiny surface.
Use ACRYLIC paint if you would like to keep the surface painted and the scratches SHINY

Suggested Supplies: (NOT sponsored links!)
*Scratch tool (I bought these as a class set, but any scratch tool should work): https://www.amazon.com/Tatuo-Pieces-S...
*Tempera paint - in color of your choice - we found that dark colors work best
*Soft pastels (chalk pastels) - a color you can see on the paint - *will stick better to the tempera paint than to acrylic paint
*Gloves - to protect hands
*Water - to wash brush, wash off paint from CD-Rom
*Paint brush
*Pencil, normal, mechanical, or colored - all work
*Scrap paper - 2-3 pieces
*Tape - masking tape or other removable tape
