  • Anybody knows the songs name?

  • Great music, anyone knows the title??

  • a+++++++++++++

  • after mixing the paint in a cup or container you can carry with you, load a brush or stick with paint and let it "dance" above the canvas.

    pollock would utilize more violent splatters at times, i believe to mix things up a bit as he "drip drawed". you dont' have to do it, but if you feel the need to, why not?

  • he didn't splatter, he poured and dripped.

    you could use latex house paint, as it flows well enough, though it is not really formulated to sit on a flexible surface (canvas).

    both liquitex and golden (as well as others) make what are called "pouring" mediums. these help make artist quality paint fluid enough to create poured paint drawings (best way for me to describe this process after exploring it).

    you'll want to allow at least a day between layers for them to dry.

    hope that helps!!!

  • i agree. i have been trained to paint in the "classical" tradition and recently decided to try a more "pollock" approach.

    i laid the canvas on the floor, mixed up some paint to the appropriate viscosity, and went wherever the paint flowing from the brush would take me.

    i'm hooked.

    it takes a lot more patience and time to pull off those kinds of results than negative criticism of pollock's work would lead one to believe.

  • wooooooow thats profound and inspirational, gorgeous work.very dynamic and screams at you really....

  • I think Pollock really got beyond any real verbal type of comprehension. He literally put something "unsayable" on the canvas, which is the ultimate abstract statement, at least I think so. His painting is primal, brutal, beautiful. You can feel the energy coming off of the painting. He said it best, "I am nature".

  • Pollock did not splatter!...he had control over the stream of paint. is not just throw paint on the canvas, he is about rhythm and energy, if you want to do it ,learn. and to learn, paint a few years, you may get it

    by the way, goggle Jackson Pollock, there is website where you can try digitally
