This is an exercise inspired by the famous American painter Jackson Pollock. He is an influential American painter and his life and work can be found in Wikipedia….https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Pollock I have started this Jackson Pollock exercise or study on a 15 x 20 inches cold press watercolor paper. The paper was put into a metal tray just large enough to hold the entire paper. Then watercolor from the tube is mixed with enough water and was dripped onto the watercolor paper randomly. Various color was put on before the other was dry to create a mix of color right on the paper. Jackson Pollock uses black ink and other paints for his painting and I like to start off mine with watercolor to create a light background before other solid or opaque color is used. Later on I might use gouache or acrylic depends on the effect I want to achieve. This is the first stage – watercolor stage – of the painting and there will be more to come before I finish this Jackson Pollock inspired study. It is lots of fun so far.
