RE: Day 29# on Steemit. Abstract Art 🎨 Action painting - Tribute to Jackson Pollock - Artstyleart13 Contest Submission
i really love your work! How did you manage to make all those lines and drops? I tried it with oil but it didn't work)). probably acrylic with water is more fluid.))) Please let me know how to do that?))
Thank you again @aksinya.
Maybe I'll make a step by step tutorial on this technique and others on my future posts....maybe :)
For this particular one I just used acrylics thinned with water, I found the 'right amount' by experimenting again and again but no more than 50% ratio, or 1:1 proportion by volume. Also, it depends on the initial viscosity of your paints and I always recommend using good quality paints.
The other factor is the support surface, the results will be different between an absorbent and a more slippery surface, pay attention on how you will prime your support surface.
This was not a pouring...this was done with more speed/action...with quick arm movements, with wrist movements...varying the distance from the canvas...I was practically dancing :))
A lot of words, but practically it is more simple than it seems.
My 'mission' here is to inspire the others and I'm so happy seeing you willing to experiment. So make your experiments, play with colors and do all this with joy.
At the end the phisical result it's not so important, but enjoying this play, fully enjoying your feelings and the small new discoveries during the creative process, that it's much more important...imho.
If you have any further questions I will be happy to respond.
Спасибо!
Yes! Make a post! Thank you so much! I will try! And congratulations! Painting like dancing sounds great))) Good title for the post!
You are very welcome! :) As you can see, we are inspiring each other and that is GREAT!
