What is Marker Portrait Poster?
Broad marker strokes redraw the whole scene in a few saturated colors. Overlap seams and dry streaks preserve decisive hand movement within weighty simplified planes.
This marker poster emphasizes broad opaque coverage, overlaps and visible stroke edges.
A blue coat crossed by an orange shoulder stroke can retain hand movement through occasional dry gaps.
How the style changes different subjects
- Portrait
- Broad marker strokes simplify face and clothing; overlapping color adds depth and a lively expression.
- Landscape
- Bands of color group buildings, sky and plants, emphasizing composition over small detail.
- Objects
- Reserved highlights and wide directional marks give objects a simple, direct sense of volume.
- Subjects
- Choose clearly lit portraits, streets, footwear, bags or drinks large enough to show overlapping strokes.
