Exercise 4 Mark Making
I finally got back to the book yesterday. Visual Exercise 4 has you trying lots of tools to draw. This is a play lesson. The goal is to forget about composition and just explore the possibilities of using marks in quantity. I do like that it encourages you to use tools you have and also tools you didn't think of using. I don't think the pictures loaded in order, but I don't really think that matters. I used an old credit card, brush, stencil brush, calligraphy marker, calligraphy pens with different nibs, the edge of spiral bound notebook paper after it is torn, a Zig pen, a Fantastix tool and a soda pop cap. The one I didn't like too much was the Fantastix tool using Tsukineko ink. I think I like the real calligraphy pen and India ink the best. But the credit card was fun. I did try to be careful, but ink is ink and it is messy. And it's always good to use the credit card for painting instead of spending.

inspirational
watching a video by Bonnie McCaffrey recently I realized that these projects by Larkin Van Horn are extensions of the kinds of exercises we have done.
Anyone here finished anything from the explorations we began last year? As you can see by the last comment posted, our public is waiting for the next chapter...
Or are we done here?
