Mark Making and the likes..

I've been trying to recreate the wrinkles of the hand in different mediums and by using different mark making techniques

Watercolours : I let the water run on the page to try and recreate the lines in the hand

I really liked using the watercolours and began looking at the artist Marlene Dumas, who also uses watercolours in her paintings




Acrylic Paint: I scratched the surface of the paint using the end of the paintbrush

Gouache: The black colour is where the deepest wrinkles are and the colours work their way up to the fleshiest, unwrinkled part of the skin which I left white

Tinfoil stuck to paper: I pinched, folded and creased the tinfoil to recreate the lines of the skin
