Mark Making & Acrylics,

Let's get bold!

Friday 20th, Mixed Media Class

Have you already tried mark making ?

With different technics as pastels, crayons, charcoals, markers...etc ?

It was the fun new learning of the day! There are different technics you can use, and it helps a lot to understand the different tons, contrasts, lines... and even how to sketch!

Elizabeth needed first to catch up with some collage missing, and during this time Cyril started to block the shadows needed.

Susan sketched the city with charcoal and other mark making...

Choosing a cityscape as her first topic has been an excellent and ambitious learning for her!

Then we moved to acrylics, everyone got out of their comfort zone! They all started to understand the process and how it was working all together... Depending on the temperament of each of us, it's a great learning for letting go, get more bold or being more soft for details, for example...

As I used to say, painting is also a self discovery.

I am really glad to give you the space for it and share my knowledge with you!

Next class, we will see how to finish a painting and add the last details that making all the difference !
