Drips In Black - Large Water Color

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

The only thing that you and Pollock have in common is that you are both terrible. Hear this phrase, and remember it well; the obscenity of mediocrity.

I love it. The music, the video and the final results.

On this one I see you mention that you used acrylic paint instead of pigments.

Peace.

I used Dick Blick Acrylic Paint (black) ... they "economy" one that is in large bottle (it's also non-toxis). It's the watering down of the canvas (just like pre-wetting water color paper) ... that makes all the difference(you can see me with the hose watering down the canvs ... it's real real wet). Thanks on the music, that's me playing realtime on my wierd string instrument I have.

well is there an underlying meaning here?! did you go to art school? i can see some definite figures to the right of the canvas. feel free to message me. i'm really not trying to be a dick. this is just very interesting.

I wrote the music that your hearing in this painting, has a water ... mellow feel to me ... is a bit "low" -> then just painted what the music told me. I probably hadn't painted for a month ... so needed something to recharge my batteries. Normally my paintings have hundreds of layers ... so it's hard for people to recognize that my paintings are re-entrant sketches.

i really don't get it. what the meaning behind this? i think the only person that would buy this is a snob that knows nothing about art. just because it's a big piece that doesn't make it a work of art. pollock beat you to it...unless there is some kind of underlying meaning to this. hope you respond!

Well as far as I know, Pollock didn't do large water colors (That you assiciate this painting to Pollock I views as a complement). From a technical point of view, this is similiar to Japanese paintings, where the flow/stroke is critical. From a "how hard is this" to do viewpoint, quickly drawing multiple figures and having those figure's meld together requires many years of drawing experience. I don't think people that enjoy fine art are normally snobs btw(I know this from demigraphics).

Maybe i should call this ... Drip in Black ... I'm always kinda oscillating on the name ( I didn't realize there was a huge ac/dc song called back in black ... i thought that was a financial term).
