Acrylic Drip

[Ratticare]

I use this same technique a lot in my paintings. It's quite simple and surprises me that no one who enjoys this kind of effect really knows of it. I mix my acrylics with water color.

[hornthieves]

i enjoyed your sharing the process

[stingarita]

I truly enjoyed watching you, and thought the music was very effective with the technique... love the finished piece. Thanks for sharing. Peace.

Interesting experiment thanks for sharing!

[Neurocidic]

Shun the non-believers. :) Awesome style. May give it a try.

[toocrucial907]

Wow. I really don't get it is this for people that can't paint. Cause I could sure put 5 colors on a canvas and spray water at it and you sprayed to much it looked ok half way through the by the end you were right back at the beginning ..

HOLY.GUACAMOLE.

[JROTCGIRL2008]

After the first spray with the bottle it looked like lightening!

A Very interesting technique!!!! I might just have to try it!!!

[punchie70]

I've done two drip painting and this technique is different from what I did but thanks for showing me another way :)

[MrTumorHumor]

acrylic?



[Graveheart77]

I think this is really cool and creative, but imo its a bit overdone i would have stopped at 1:33 it looks great already at that moment, good job tho :)

[cw8307]

@Graveheart77 Overdone...more like never done...we only stop so we can move on to something else. 

[paintermag]

[pmscotland35]

[lunasea1039]

What a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

For those who knock the technique...I sold my first Drip painting right off my living room wall to a friend of a friend..since then my hobby has turned into an obsession by others who continue to request drip technique paintings so much that I have 5 paintings drying right now. Water does things a brush cannot do and no two paintings will ever be the same. Don't knock it until you try it.

[infowazz]

@cw8307 you said it

[cw8307]

@infowazz Acknowledged



[CompanionCubie]

Waste of time? Haha, no. This is gorgeous! And now I'm going to try it.

[Hannanstl]

too much brushwork - think it has a better effect just manipulating with gravity and the medium.

[helldogg13]

perfect song for the mood of the painting. great job for your first time :)

[CrowbarCon]

That is beautiful and very clever with the water :) fantastic job :)

[ArtistGreta]

I love it! With dripping I found it's all about experimenting! Different colors react in a different way!

[Nicoleclog]

I love it....would love to see more videos = )

[MissHannah73]

Really cool! And-NO ART work is a waste of time any artist knows this

[samusarrann]

Thanks for taking this video. I love seeing "what happens when I do X" without having to use up a bunch of my paint when I do. Cheers!

[FrauMase]

me likey

[Naattmmir]

waste of time!!

[zkfsu]

@Naattmmir that's a great criticism for something that was an experimental project. Can't win them all I suppose. But you are more than welcome to got fuck yourself. Maybe that will have a better result than my waste of time experiment. Cheers.

[deegupton]

@zkfsu That is the best!! I love your creativity in your work AND in your words!! :)

[Kosijustpiedyou]

@Naattmmir Never thought I'd see an troll!

[MrJakbender]

@Naattmmir i don't think it's a waste of time. Art is art. and shit rolls down hill. someone must have said that about your work once. pay him/her/it no mind zkfsu. you're doing great and i am learning from your videos.

[cw8307]

@Naattmmir Try it once...it will frustrate you and take you a long time to get what you want out of spraying water on paint...once u master it...you will be very happy you wasted your time. 

[MrJams321]

what's in the spay bottle? Is it water? Great job!

[zkfsu]

@MrJams321 yea it's just water

[infowazz]

@MrJams321 spray bottle is very important for acrylics

[ThePaparazzi478]

This is just divine my friend !!!!

[zkfsu]

@ThePaparazzi478 thanks

[Snoopy5509]

I've been wanting to try this technique!! What was the first layer you put on the canvas? Primer or water? I've seen folks put water down first before.

[zkfsu]

@Snoopy5509 the first layer is just white gesso

[Thadtaylorart]

i love this technique i use it for my backgrounds in my tree paintings!!

[zkfsu]

@Thadtaylorart yea i've never tried it before but its cool, feel like its going to open up some new ideas for my artwork

[WERTY317]

Put it up for sale.  I think there will be a run on it. ta dum
