I spent a day developing the mark making processes that I tried out during the workshop, to create more controlled experiments focussed on my topic. I chose to develop the observational drawings of fishermen that I did, because fishing is a very important pastime in my family. I also wanted to add an element of colour, so I chose a palette that my mind instantly relates to fishermen; the bright yellow of their jackets and the reds in their faces from all of that bracing sea air. The first experiment was very detailed, so in the second image I tried to simplify it, but I think I still prefer the first one because although their are more lines, the simple colours break it up into shapes.
After this I will use different media that I do not normally to draw with and make marks, to push me outside of my comfort zone, because Ink has become my go to media lately.
