  • In this demo I introduce fun and surprising tools and mark making techniques. On a large piece of paper mounted on the wall I explore the connection between line and gesture. I turn to the flat surface for the second half of there demo, showing you how to expand mark making with collage, printing and mono printing. Join Artwork Artplay on Facebook, to discover posts and tips on tools, techniques, and mindset to keep your art practice going.

    Thank you Alison, l so enjoyed this video. Full of valuable information. Mark making is a great reminder of where we came from as artists. When l was small and going on bus rides with my mum she always had a tiny note book and wee pencil in her bag. When l got fidgety out they would come and l was happy doodling away until the journey was over. An artist was born 😂 I too enjoy Louise's teaching. Thanks again Alison.........

I have 3 free sessions coming up at the end of October. Otherwise, I sometimes teach in art schools: I'll be at the Gibson's School of the Arts next summer as well as a summer school called MISSA on Vancouver Island. You can find them both online. Maybe I'll meet you there?!

    I have been a watercolorist for a very long time and am trying to learn abstract painting and found your lessons on RUclips. You are a very good teacher. I have started with your mark making lesson. For the large paper, what kind of paper and what size do you use?. I have a lot of watercolor paper. Can you use acrylic paints on watercolor paper? Thanks so much for all your lessons.

    • @alisonwatt8570

  • @randygarry3678

    • @alisonwatt8570
      @alisonwatt8570  6 месяцев назад +1

      The relatively small amount of oil in the oil paste does bind, but it will resist any acrylic. I kind of like the effect of that. But I always spray the work with an oil pastel fixative when I'm finished.
