We’ve been talking about Mark Making (or Paint Application)
in the MDN class this month.
This week, I played with using “staccato” brush strokes;
or quick short marks in the style of Van Gogh or Vuillard.
First I tried it out with the Procreate app on my I Pad.
I used the complement, in the same value, of each color section
to make the marks.
I kept checking the values by putting it into black and white
to see if they would “disappear. “
I did a pretty good job except for the shadow shape behind the pup.
I then tried doing that with paint and it wasn’t quite as much fun,
or successful.

Stay tuned.
We’re exploring “slash and dash” brush strokes next!
