Today I was set the challenge of drawing with handmade tools.
I created a set of unique instruments to draw with,
these included brushes made from grass, cotton wool and even lavender.
Cotton Wool
Sponges
Grass and Lavender
These gave really interesting effects; they were easy to use yet gave unique properties.
I spent a while experimenting with my tools to create a catalogue of mark-making.
mark-makingI then selected some of the most effective techniques and used these to draw my tools.

Lavender - drawing
I really enjoyed using instruments that I'd created myself, and will definitely consider using these again within my work.
