Mark Making

I think the marks used at the sides of the page are really interesting its like scraping marks and the brush didn't have much ink on, not too bold, but enough to cover the page at a little colour. The middle looks as if it has a sequence going on, having the middle square surrounded by a darker looking marks, to me it looks the same as the outside one but with more ink and worked into a lot to create a more bold appearance. The middle section is interesting as it has a sense of colour in compressing to the rest of the image, and it works in a different direction to the rest of the marks as they go either up or down just about whereas the centre block works diagonal. This is a set colour and there is no white coming through at all on the middle square, making this stand out the most despite it been in the middle.
