#Mark Making Art

Mark making is literally that. Different lines, dots, patterns, movements with a tool. Abstract. Intuitive. Following the brush. Without looking for meaning and without making anything. Except marks. My reflections emerged about my process, I notice: I was methodical with the marks for short periods and then shifted to a different space to make a very different marks. Spontaneous. Restless? I experienced satisfaction in filling some of the white areas with the wash from wetting the paper and ink. I experienced annoyance at the brush bending in ways I didn’t expect and annoyance that it did not hold much water and I had to continually dip it in the water. And I just allowed those reflections to come and go without doing anything, just being present and acknowledging them. . . . #reflectivepractise #reflectiveartnaking #markmaking #makemarks #yuggeraarttherapist #ecoarttherapist #naturetherapy #outdoortherapy #rewilding #artrevealsartheals #curiosity #courage #creativity #artforwellbeing #artformentalhealth#artforselfexpression #artisarebellion #aweheals #wanderingandwondering #natureastherapy #collectivehealing #collectiverewilding #gathertoheal #grouptherapy #groupartstherapy

For artists and art educators- the Pen and Ink WORKBOOK is invaluable for improving ink mark-making techniques in a logical, linear fashion. I have used these books as a source of classroom handouts for skill-building, and also left photocopies for my students to complete on days when I wasn’t in the classroom. Overall just an idea excellent resource that’s accessible at all levels, whether you’re experienced or relatively new to the art form. Check out alphonso’s companion workbook!! #artteacher #arteducator #inkdrawing #penandink

The beauty of graffiti is that an otherwise disenfranchised artist can reappropriate the space they live in to showcase their work. Or a sh!t hed like me can go write his name on a bunch of stuff that doesn’t belong to him. The world is what you make it. #graffiti #drawing #tagging #dripmop #marker #art

My process is to add multiple layers and methods until it starts to look right. It’s very complex and I enjoy finding new processes to add to the list. #contemporaryceramicart #contemporaryceramics #modernceramics #ceramicart #markmaking #markmakingart #drawingonclay #printingonclay #ceramicsurface #clayascanvas #handmadeceramics

What if stitch wasn’t about getting it “right”? What if we saw it as mark-making—a way to draw, to express, to play? When we embrace our own stitch handwriting and stop chasing perfection, what might we make with that freedom? ✨ Have you ever unlearned something you were taught about stitch? I’d love to hear. #textileart #visuallanguage #stitchmeditation #slowstitch #stitchingasart

This March and maybe a bit more is dedicated to collage on my Patreon ✂️✨ And just yesterday I posted a new video there about creating textures! Every time I make these papers, I lose feeling of time and space and completely dive into this messy creative process and don’t even want to come back to reality 😁 You can watch the whole video on my Patreon to see more magical ways to create textures, play with paints and ink and allow yourself to experiment without fears and make collage with me then! 🌈 #collage #collageonpaper #collageartists #collageart #mixedmediaartist #mixedmediaart #papercollage #abstractart #abstractpainting #messyart #messyartist #illustrationartists #artformentalhealth #markmakingart #markmaking #magicofart #inkdrawing #mixedmediapainting #patreon #joyofcreating #doitfortheprocess
