  • Hey everyone, in this week's video, we take a look at the different types of tools you can use to master your asemic writing! You can use a variety of tools as showcased in this video. You can even use something as simple as a stick. In next week's video we will take our asemic writing done here today and add it to an abstract painting of our own, so stay tuned!

  • @manman478
    @manman478 2 месяца назад +2

    Something I find beautiful about techniques like this (I had called it “conscious condensate”) - is that there’s a personal skill to it that could never be taught. In willingly stripping away the attempt to communicate, you’re really getting under the technical hood that underlies the act of marking a page. It does wonders for tuning harmony and balance in compositions, as well as fine tuning pressure control and fluidity of strokes across mediums. Someone seeing me do this in public might assume it’s my first time picking up a brush, randomly testing it, without the skills to construct a meaning - but hundreds of hours back each of the swift squiggles. In a way, it’s representative of many works of modern art.. with the ‘I could do that’ mentality. Well sure, but have you tried? Thanks for sharing!

    I wonder how silicon tools would work as they should glide across the paper 🤔 I recently got a bunch of silicon gel brushes for facial mud application. I must try them as they come in different end shapes that are solid, not actually brush-like & are different sizes, some with corners, others rounded. I love ASIC writing but the dragging of a nib on the page makes my teeth ache in a weird way lol.

    Asemic writing can also be done on fabric and incorporated into quilts or other textile art. You will need to stabilize the fabric by ironing it onto freezer paper so it doesn't "crawl" when you apply pressure. You will probably also need to adjust the speed at which you write.

  • @lynnboyd33

    • @GwenFoxArtist
      @GwenFoxArtist  2 месяца назад +2

      Well William.....I am so glad you shared your opinion. I happen to agree with you about Pollock (although not quite as strong as you feel) but Asemic writing within art is a form of art that is associated with fine art collage. It has its own importance in the art world. I don't believe it is nonsense art and devoid of message. Actually quite the opposite....it tells a story within the painting which is a form of communication with the viewer. Asemic writing also adds mystery which is one component of painting that is super important. What on earth makes you think Asemic writing within the painting is nonsense?
