I like to make marks with:
- stamping tools and the gelatin plate. The details can be amazing.
- a pencil/crayon and my non-dominate hand. The line can be raw and authentic.
- small hand made stamps. The patterns can be very stabilizing.
I combine these and a few other mark making techniques to make visual story books.
If you are curious about this approach to art making, then check out the details of the upcoming class Make Marks + Books.
This 7 lesson class is about exploring mark making and using a few simple printmaking techniques to make artist books. We will use a non-linear approach to layering and responding to the images. It is intuitive and yet guided by design principles, like variety and repetition.
Join me in the online class – Make Marks + Books. Give yourself the gift of time to explore.
