Hi Wyldflowrs. My scraper has a brush handle attached to a rubber tip, so I am alternating it with the brush. It starts at 1:26

Hi Flora, I wish you could show how to paint your sgraffito method from the very beginning, it is difficult to understand this when you are a beginner. How do you prime a canvas etc.? I hope you can do this for amateur, it will be boring for you but very very wonderful for people like myself.also can you tell me what supplies are needed i have not painted anything in years although i do have an easel but nothing else...and have no idea of acrylics

Dear Flora...I didn't see the scaraping/sgraffito technique. Everything looked like it was done with a brush...?lol!

@LesleyLizbeth paint a little every day if you can. start by copying what flora does as best you can. painting will unfold to you. you either do it or you don't :-) if you do, it will come.
