Make Colorful Scratch Art at Home Using Oil Pastels | Step-by-Step Tutorial

Make a stunning scratch art project using oil pastels with this easy DIY craft! Begin by covering your paper completely with bright, bold oil pastel colors—layering and blending as much as you like to create a rich, colorful base. Next, paint over the entire page with a thick layer of black acrylic paint mixed with equal parts dish soap. Once the paint dries, use a toothpick or wooden skewer to gently scratch away the black surface, revealing the vibrant oil pastel colors beneath. This fun technique lets you create eye-catching designs while exploring texture and color in a hands-on way! HI! My name is Sierra Machado and I am a public school art teacher in Oklahoma. I spent the first six years of my career teaching at a visual art magnet program at a high school in South Carolina. I then spent six years at an intermediate school in Oklahoma, and now I'm back teaching high school. I am excited to be in my 16th year in art education.
