Time to channel Jackson Pollack.

Here's my first stab at a bit of Pollock. I don't know art, but I know what I like (sic).

I saw some original Pollock at MOMA in NY and I must say, you've nailed it Gavin. Great choice of colours.

Fantastic Gav.
Reminds me of 'back in the day' before digital printers, when we were signwriting everything by hand.
The backing board on my easel looked just like that![]()
Thanks for the encouragement guys!It took me a few goes to get something I liked. Not as easy as I thought it would be! @wokka: I used acrylic artists paints mixed with a bit of low viscosity liquefying medium to make it runnier. Application was a combination of basically throwing it out of the mixing cup to get larger splats and small dots, and flicking it off the end of the stirrer to get long lines.
cheers,
Gav.
