I have dabbled when at Art college drawing like this but not getting it like I am now! I found it hard at first to be inventive with the range of marks I made but once I got into it, it seemed to flow along and before I knew it I had created alot of marks I have not achieved before. I was reluctant to explore different media at first but like I said before, once I was into it then more exploration was necessary and I enjoyed making marks with different things.
Overall I am very pleased with the work I have done so far. I feel that I am still hesitant to make a start on drawing but once I am doing it I am fine. The key to remember is that I am not trying to reproduce an object but to interpret the object into something that can be textile.
I enjoy making marks in response to an image. I can make marks in relation to words if I am in a certain mood and I find that music helps as the emotions encouraged when listening to different types of music is very good to let your imagination run. I find it still quite hard to make marks in relation to real objects unless they are really tactile but I am sure that the more I work on this the easier it will become.
At the moment I enjoy working with watercolour pencils. I like the fact that you can sketch away in coloured pencil while out and about and then add colour at home and transform the work into something completely different. I have not done much work in watercolour before so I would like to study into this further at some point.
I am absolutely convinced that I have not exlored all the possibilites of mark-making as I feel I am just at the tip of the iceburg but I will read and observe more so that I can continue trying different tecniques.
I have already got lots of ideas for making my marks into textile work and am now really looking forward to doing more towards this goal.
