Making marks

Making marks

In the last drawing class we were asked to bring in an object that we could deconstruct. To make things easy, we all brought in a kinder egg, so that we could deconstruct and reconstruct the free toy, and use each piece to make marks on our paper.

This class was really enjoyable as I like the freeness of simply mark making with my object. I used indian ink and gouache.

This drawing is using the kinder egg itself, dipped in indian ink.

This was simply using my key, to draw with the indian ink, and then adding water to dilute. I then moved the piece of paper from side to side, to let the water move across the surface.

This drawing is again, simply using the key to draw lines up and down the paper, I think this is a great surface to work over.

Using gouache and simply a flat square brush, I made strokes with the paint, and allowed the paint to ware off the further down the paper that I got.

This drawing is gouache with white indian ink applied over the top.
