Mark Making with Mixed Media
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 22 июл 2023
- ⭐️ Mark making as a mixed media art practice ⭐️
This week I am exploring mark making and the importance it has in making any type of artistic expression.
Here’s why mark-making is important - it allows you to explore, push boundaries and develop the creative spirit. Marks can create texture, depth, and movement in a piece, whether on canvas or copy paper.
Plus, mark-making is a great way to add your own personal touch to your artwork - true story - no two people ever make the exact same marks. How cool is that?!
So, whether you're a professional artist or someone who loves to paint paper like me, mark-making will help you grow your skills and confidence.
Quote of the week: “just try things!”

"Just try things" is the theme in this video - would you try the spaghetti thing?
I definitely will.
Absolutely, I thought I was creative with found objects, but I'll never look at leftover spaghetti the same now.
@@KathyBrooksArt It really was delightfully fun!
OMG.....I am totally thrilled finding your videos!....you are so inspiring....ps... would definitely try ALL the leftovers......😂
cooked spaghetti as a creative tool, how wonderful!
I have to say, Lena - that was an incredible fun experiment - I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🥰
When you brought out the spaghetti, I felt like we were kindred spirits. ❤
Love that, Darcy! Have you ever tried it?
@@PaintedPaperStudio not yet. 😉
@@DarcysMixedMedia When...if...you do, be sure to let them set up in the refrigerator. Let the gluten make them stick together. This way, you can grab a handful without them falling out like worms. *wink *
@PaintedPaperStudio thanks for the tip. And FYI: dry ramen might look like a cool texture, but it's a fail on the gel plate.
"...like knitting for artists...," I loved that comment. I also knit and repetitive mark making, like knitting, takes me to a relaxing flow state that I love. I've just discovered you recently and love your presentation style and methods you are sharing. Making art is how I play and relax and you radiate that joy in your videos. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you for saying such kind things, Kim. I'm so happy you're here. 🥰
Love this! I'm with you - play!!!
Thanks Geri! I think creative play is the answer to so many things 🥰
I really admire the fact that you stand as you create. I can’t even imagine trying that, but wish I could.
Thanks, Millana! I'm grateful that I can stand when I work. My table is very tall, so standing is required. 🥰
We artists really see things differently, don't we? I don't think regular people would see as much beauty in marks as we do.
So true Siobhan, so true 💜
Not only the beautiful marks and color and lines but for me as well is the texture and feel of the paper! The sounds they make when using different techniques and varieties!! Is that just me?
@@carynpercell8979 Nope, it's me too 😍
@@carynpercell8979nope, not just you. I love, love the sound of crinkly paper (especially after painting), and even the feel of old paper 💜
So glad I saw this video. I struggle with doing mark makings. This helped so much. Never would have thought to use noodles!
The noodles were so fun to use, Debbie. I hope you give them a try! 🥰
Thank you for the very creative inspiration . I would never have entertained the idea of spagetti as a tool. 😊yes, i will try all you suggestions.
Lisa, everything is fair game in the studio 😂 I'm happy you enjoyed the video. 🥰
Needed this tutorial today! Yes inspired to try the mark making and texture from tree bark and other items. I pick up colors of bark, eucalyptus. Love the rubbing technique too!
YAY - inspiration from nature is the best - have fun with it! Thank you for watching Marie 😀
This is a breath of fresh air. I love your process conversation. Mark making is like brainstorming in writing. This is particularly helpful to me to watch as I am working with teens this summer at an art camp. Many of them come in sleepy and this is a great idea just to get them started. Is there a way to see what you did with all these pieces?
Thank you Stephanie - I really appreciate your kind words. I agree that this style of creating would be awesome for sleepy teens 😀. I would love to show you what I did with these pieces, but I haven't used them yet. As soon as I do I'll include them in a video.
Well that was fun!
Liz! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. I'm a fan of your art and have been watching for a long time. Congrats on what's been happening on your channel recently 😍 🎉
Oh thank you!! I want to go to my studio now, but it's raining so much I can't face going outside @@PaintedPaperStudio
Wow, the spaghetti was amazing!!
Right?! So much fun - I hope you give it a try 🥰
I smiled at the spaghetti too. All good fun!
😂😂😂
I always enjoy dropping in at your studio, watching you express yourself with paint and mark making. Thanks for your time and creative energy.
And I always love having you back, Cheryl! 🥰
Loved seeing your smile as you brought out the spaghetti! Very fun and creative!
Glad you enjoyed it - I nearly edited the goofy reaction out, but you know what, I really do react like that when I'm in the studio. Let me know if you ever give the spaghetti a try 💜
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, especially the ‘leftovers’ segment 😊
It should be hilarious to see what I try using for the next "leftovers" segment! Thank you for watching Bev 😀
I'm looking forward to seeing how you use all these lovely painted & marked up papers.
Very inspiring!!! I need this! Don't stop! Love the spaghetti idea....can't wait to see what you come up with next!....and keep talking too! Go, Girl....!!!!!
Oh my goodness - thank you Catherine! I promise I won't stop any time soon (and it's hard to get me to stop talking 😂).
This is also my calm. I love your art!
You are very kind, Sheila, thank you. 🥰
I'm really digging these exercises. I'm on a years block. I feel exploring may help. Thank you.
I'm so glad you like them, and I'm sure exploration will help to chip away at the block. Be sure to let me know it goes for you 😀
This video made me just so happy! I love my mark making sessions and watching how happy and playful you are in this video. Just made my Saturday. Thank you for sharing how you play and experiment. It was easy to feel how you enjoyed the process 😍Now I am so up for a session with mark making🥰
This comment makes me so happy! I hope you did get to do some mark making today 🥰
What a fun video. Love the jazz too. Wood bark is mesmerizing for me too. 😊
Thank you Ingrid 😀 Wood bark has so much fascinating detail. Thanks for watching!
Super fun play ❤❤❤
I'll never look at my spaghetti the same way again😄
Exactly! Thank you for being here Elle 😀
Love what you have demonstrated here. I look forward to more leftovers demo’s. What a great idea.
Thank you Chapman, more to come!
Inspiring! So happy I found you thru your cookbook video. Will turn a cookbook my Mom gave to her BFF that she inscribed with such a wonderful dedication to their friendship that even though I don’t want the recipes I can’t part with it!! Turning it into a photo memory/art journal of their friendship is priceless. Went on to watch this video and can’t begin to tell you how inspiring. Wishing much success with your video making! Thank you.
Linda - thank you so much for your kind words. What a beautiful way to honor your mother's friendship, and your creative muse. Your cookbook journal is sure to become a family treasure 🥰
I love the noodle marks. Fun!
Thank you Linda, I thought they were really fun too! 🥰
That's a really nice afternoon in my dictionary! Lovely work! Can't wait to see you using this papers in finished peaces.
I agree, the very best way to spend and afternoon. Thank you for watching Ana Paula 💜
Now that is what i call fun!
Thank you, Vanessa - and I agree 100%!
Great video 😁 TFS 💗
I need to do more of this kinda play. I really do. All your ideas are fab, esp the spaghetti doodle! Now I'm thinking.. hmm.. egg noodles are thinner than spag.. what if..? lol!
Your video was meant to inspire - and it def worked for me. Thanks so much!
YES! Get out the egg noodles, ramen noodles, even the pool noodle and get to work - it is so much fun 🥰
Loving your videos! Appreciate your enthusiasm and excitement! Thank you! 💕💕💕
Thank you Tina - appreciate your kind words and for watching 😀
How much fun!
Thank you Linda!
Hi Jackie, I do share your joy of painting on paper and have also kept packaging papers… will go more crazy with it now having seen your Mark making days😍🇩🇰
I love hearing that, Susana - my (not so) secret goal with this channel is to help people experience the joy of simply creating. So glad you're here! 🥰
Thank you so much Jackie, I really really enjoyed watching you creating all these amazing marks. And that spaghetti at the end is fantastic and fabulous. I’ve subscribed and given you a thumb’s up too. Please stay safe and well too
Thank you so much for your kind words Cyril, and I appreciate your support. Happy painting 😀
I love watching you work! And your excitement and enthusiasm!😊 So looking forward to see how you use with all your paints papers. ❤
Thank you Francie - I do get pretty excited 💜
Awesome, how fun !
It really is - thank you for watching 😀
EEEEK! A wood pile up against a house is an invitation for termites.
Dawna - you're probably right but I love it. Maybe I'm the first Airbnb for termites 😂
Some great ideas! Thanks! My favorite is the journal page idea. Oh, and the typed page. Just imagine what I might find at a resale store!
One good trip to the resale store could potentially give you all the paper you could ever need to paint on. Enjoy 😀
Your channel is such a joy and inspiration. Thank you!
Thank you very much, MaryLou! 💜
Just found you!!!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm so glad you did Linda! 💜
Love your video, you randomly appeared in my feed! I see just about everything as a mark making tool and yes, I would do spaghetti! I love getting packaging, love found objects and I have to feel trees and rocks! There are so many things to discover and play with and I love that you reminded me to do a rubbing on bark with graphite! Thank for the inspiration!💕from🇨🇦
Cindy, we sound like soul sisters 🥰 Thank you so much for watching, and taking the time to let me know what you thought.
@@PaintedPaperStudio we sure do, I will be watching more of your videos for sure!
I loved all of your mark- making ideas. But, the spaghetti was 🧑🍳 🤌
🥰 Was that chef's kiss? 🥰 I can't tell you how much fun I had that day!
@@PaintedPaperStudio That’s absolutely what it was. 😉 I could tell you were definitely in your flow. It’s fun to see another artist enjoying their process. 😊
Muchas gracias! Me encantaron tus trabajos!!!!
¡De nada y estoy muy feliz de que estés aquí, Maria Laura! 🥰
I loved this video and your approach to mark making! You really spoke to me as I find myself collecting natural elements on my walks to use in making mark. I love textures and I’ve been exploring finding my marks. Thank you for this, I look forward to seeing more of what you do.
I'm so happy you stumbled upon on this video and that it connected with you 💜
Thank you so much for sharing , so playful and inspiring.
Thank you Janet, that mean a lot💜
Love your artwork ❤
Thank you Deborah! 🥰
Loved this video! was trying to think of ideas for additional mark making. i did spehgetti with the kiddos recently, they loved it and so did I! Thank you!
So happy you did this with your kids! I think it's a fun way for them to explore their creativity, and get great results at the same time 🥰
Hurray! It already made me happy to watch you! making marks. What would it be like if I did it myself? I can´t wait, to try it out. The noodles were my highlight! Your mark making was also courage making. Thanks so much 🥰
Thank you Britta - this was such a lovely note to wake up to! I hope you have as much fun exploring and experimenting as I do. 💜
I love how the spaghetti turned out! Though I was concerned that there would be expiry issues with the finished art (no clue if it leaves some gluten or butter/oil on the page) so now I'll be on the hunt for some extra skinny monkey noodles (sensory toy)! So glad RUclips recommended your video to me.
You bring up great questions! The spaghetti I used had nothing on it, no oils or butter, so I don't think there will be a problem, but I'll wait a while to use it to see what happens. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment 🥰
Why not just use string, yarn etc that can be reused vs food?
❤️
Love this video ❤ sorta sad that “spaghetti” isn’t listed in your supplies used 😂 can’t wait to try it we usually have leftover noodles and no sauce and now I have a use!
Oh no! I didn't mean to slight the noodles - I've fixed that now 😍 Thank for watching Dakota!
I just loved this video it made me feel so happy, I can’t wait to have a go. What sort of paper do you use? It looks quite thin.
I'm so glad it made you happy, Christine! I’m not sure which paper you are referring to, but here are all the papers I used in this video: newsprint, rice paper, tissue paper, deli paper, and a piece of paper from one of my journals. All the supplies can be found in the description of the video. Thank you for being here 🥰
I think it must have been the newsprint. Thank you.
Ich finde es schade daß es nicht in deutsch übersetzt wird in der Beschreibung. Im Grunde weiß ich nicht worum es hier geht...😢
Hallo Gudrun, vielen Dank für den Hinweis. Das Problem ist nun behoben und Sie sollten die Beschreibung auf Deutsch lesen können. Dies war das zweite Video, das ich auf RUclips hochgeladen habe, und zu diesem Zeitpunkt hatte ich keine Ahnung, dass die Plattform in der Lage war, Videos in viele, viele verschiedene Sprachen zu übersetzen. Nachdem ich nun weiß, wie es geht, gehe ich langsam alle Videos durch und aktualisiere sie. Ich hoffe, dass Ihnen das Video jetzt gefallen wird. 🥰 [Google Translate]
But, Jackie, didn't your mama tell you not to play with your food?😁
She did, but I was never very good at following directions 😂🥰
Needed this tutorial today! Yes inspired to try the mark making and texture from tree bark and other items. I pick up colors of bark, eucalyptus. Love the rubbing technique too!
I'm so happy you enjoyed it, Stacy! Have fun playing around with it 🥰
