STARTING EMO

 

Markmaking- Process

Before I started out with this project, I experimented a few pens and brushes for their textures.

This project seems all fascinating to me as “mark making” is a new foreign word that I picked up within these few weeks. Having no background in art at all, I was bewildered by all the fancy ways of creating patterns andeven textures. Hence forth, when joy introduced the procedure for mark making, I was so excited and eager to “touch” the roller!

Voila! I had my first mono printing ever! I’m so glad it turns out pretty well on my first attempt though.

Subsequently, I decided to explore the world of monoprinting and used many materials such as leaves, flowers, strings, foil, spray bottle and basically that’s in my sight. Some turns out print well and through this process, I’ve got the hang on how to do monoprinting.

Of course, coffee beans are not at my mercy too. HUHEUE. Although it was a failed attempt, but its okay, we all learn from our mistakes.

Feelin’ a little experimental today, I used chinese ink to create different momentums and patterns.

FIRST EXPOSURE TO MARKMAKING

Mark making is a term used to describe the different lines, patterns, and textures we create in an artwork. It applies to any art material(s) we use on any surface(s), not only paint on canvas or pencil on paper.

(First Exposure) These are a few mark making techniques that I’ve found interesting.
