Mark Making

For this project my aim is to add shape into my surface and textured drawings, being inspired by my photographs and previous mark making in the Practise Unit I decided to make marks using a brush strokes with a ruler so I could still get the ruff edge and messiness with adding the straight abstract edge with the ruler. 
The straight line at the edge of the paper adds another element to the drawing rather than it being just a simple brush stroke on a page.

I really think this technique has worked, I can see all the small grains of the brush stroke and then with the straight line I like how it has made it into more of a shape than just a simple brush stroke. I did this mark by moving the brush to the left, I also want to try moving the brush up and down. I am going to carry on with this technique making more bigger marks and also smaller marks to see the difference and compare them.

The second image is me trying to trap the brush stroke and I think this is really effective, again it isn't like any other simple brush mark. By creating a simple square shape with tape I have created a completely different mark, with this I am also adding shape into my mark making drawings.
