Project 1 - Stage 3: Exercise 1

Using Marks To Create Surface Textures

I chose two images, one of funghi and the underneath of a mushroom and one of turkey tail.

I tried the funghi in various media

• pencil
• biro
• coloured pencil and white gel pen
• inktense coloured pencils

I think the biro is the best image, it has depth and texture and I like drawing with a biro.

For the turkey tail I used

• inktense coloured pencils
• oil pastels
• block paints

I think the inktense pencils worked really well, I like both the techniques with these pencils, but I think the top stripey one is most representative of the image.
