Mark Making with a Simple Edge with Susan Purney Mark

Mark Making is a term used to describe the different lines, patterns, and textures we create in a piece of art. You can create with a variety of tools, mediums and surfaces. In my videos series, I'll be demonstrating different ways I work to get marks onto fabric and how I incorporate them into my art.

Who knew that little scraper could be so artful? Very nice, Susan.

[@Susanpurneymark]

Thanks so much, I'm always so amazed at how the simple designs can be the most effective!

[@foreveryoung4980]

I wonder where to get it

[@jennyhughes4474]

I really like the curvy marks you made at the end - and it's so relaxing to watch you doing that after a long day doing my art = thank you!

[@vishnus1107]

The latter technique is very good for figure painting. Thank you Susan.

Great video, thank you! I've been been struggling to translate drawing and print making mark making into painting - but never tried tools beyond brushes.

[@Susanpurneymark]

Glad it was helpful!

Here’s thought: Instead of adding more plastic (as in “plastic wrap”) to the tons of the toxic material already contaminating our landfills, climate and oceans, why not just wash your palette? Or could you use some kind of paper, which isn’t lethal?

[@Susanpurneymark]

We live in an area where we are careful to ration our water usage, hence the liner. I do brush the paint off onto papers that I use for collage so very little added to my garbage.

[@63artemisia63]

@@Susanpurneymark Good to know! There are few crafters/artists online who even mention the connection between climate change and ocean pollution and plastic. Seems like people under 50 aren’t even aware of any of the above.

@Susan Purney Mark I’ve been wanting to make my own patterned paper for collage and this video got me started in that direction. Thanks 🎈💕🎈
