Abstract Patterns from Handmade Marks
Making patterns out of handmade marks (and the actual process of experimenting with mark-making) turned out to be considerably more addictive than I have anticipated, and Dom & I have created enough marks to carry on creating patterns for the next year without using any more paper!:D In this project, I am going to share a selection of some of our favourite patterns created using different media, which by no means is representative of all experiments we've done.
Please enjoy & ask any questions you might have!;)
When I started experimenting, I thought I’d like acrylic and ink marks the most, but It turned out that 2B pencil, broad pen and a marker are not bad at all either, and might even suit the way I work and my style more.
