Studying Mark Making with Erik Gist - Watts Weekly

Mark-making refers how the artist is putting down their work on the canvas. What type of technique are they applying the paint with? How are they knitting their subtle shapes together? What do their subtle shapes really look like? Where do they put thin or thick paint? And the biggest question: Why is this important to know anyways? Join Erik this week as he unpacks some of these questions.

Having originals in your studio while you paint is one of the most enjoyable things I have experienced. Its an addiction at this point

Greetings! Is it actually possible to relearn how to hold a pencil, pen, brush? I've been drawing my whole life, and I've been trying to learn the proper grip since yesterday, and i got to say, its quite the miserable experience 😅😭. Is it actually possible to do it?
