Susan's Attempts at Mark Making

Susan's Attempts at Mark Making - student project

Due to my inexperience with the uploads, the pictures are in reverse order than I intended, LOL. This is most of today's session. I used Liquitex Alizerin Crimson, gold, copper, bronze, bleached titanium, black ink, and magenta ink. I do not like a lot of white, generally.

I think my favorites from all of these are the skinny lines and the various circle prints. I'll do more tomorrow.

Process:

Paintbrush with gold paint, old card used to score lines, paintbrush and ink, more sponge brush printing, and a dark background with copper snakeprint from a stencil.

The lines to the left were made by a sponge tool. The skinny lines were an old card edge to make cross hatching. The irregular gold splotches were a paintbrush stippling. Caps and circles too.

The solid circles were made with a sponge blurring tool, used for stamps most often. Circles were a cap, the other two are ghost prints of the same on top of backgrounds already printed.
