Playful Mark Making
When a wash of ink spreads across the paper in an unanticipated way, we can become the creator of an exquisitely made mark. This kind of encounter can often happen when we approach a sketchbook with an attitude of play—with a new tool or a new way of moving the hand across the surface of the paper. In this Gather, we’ll explore how we make marks on a surface—like stamping with ink, drawing with a comb, and painting on yupo paper. We will experiment with these tools to create our own unique and unexpected textures. This can open up a new vocabulary of textures to apply to our creative practices across any medium.
