Quarantine Brushes – workshop with Guido Scarabottolo

During the workshop held by the Italian illustrator Guido Scarabottolo, participants explored the language offered by different strokes and their individual expressivity. In this exercise, we were encouraged to fabricate different “brushes”, no matter what the material was: some from natural fibers, other from waste materials. The aim was to find their own peculiar stroke. Randomness was also an important element to work with.

I built two brushes and a stencil, with unusual but easily found objects at home.
